Man I bet that was a pain in the @ss to figure out.

No kidding, I hate when we buy cars that have been ghetto rigged. Glad you found it

yea for sure it was a pain. i didnt even think of it me and a couple of buddys were sittin around having a beer thinking about it and out of the blue one of my buddys said look for a bad ground. and i noticed the tail lights were very dim. so i popped the trunk and saw some ghetto rigged wiring and got out the test light and grounded it and the problem was solved. now the car runs like a champ.
