Ok so yesturday i went to turn on my car and it would not start. Fuel pressure guage read 0 so then i realized that the Fuel pump was not turning on and the Fuel pump relay was not turning on either...so i waited about 15 min and i went to try it again and then the relay and pump both turned on and the car started.. 2 minutes into being on i heard the fuel pump relay click and then the car turned off.... looked at all the fuses and then found one broke, replaced it and the fuel relay and pump worked ever since.... i go to start the car and it would not turn on, i noticed that the rev was not going up when turning the car over, so then i realized that i was not getting spark to the cam sensor... i tested the power and noticed that there was only 3 watts/volt going to the cam sensor instead of 12. so wtf???? i didnt touch any wires to make this happen. so i go on the aem and it says that the batt voltage was really low when it shouldnt. all fuses were good so i could not find out why this shit was happening so i wired a 12volt wire directly to the crank sensor and the car turned on. but when i turn it on the car went real real rich and the idle sounded like i had 472 duration cams black smoke too0o. i turned if off and turned it back on and the ratio went back to normal and car idled normal..so0 i went home and today i turned in on and the idle and ratio was ####ed up again turn if off and on and again same issue... did it a third time and then it was fine back to normal.... i drove for about 10 mins come home pull up the my driveway put up both my windows and sunroof at the same time and all of a sudden both my lock actuators start going crazy and they keep unlocking with out stopping... they will not stop unlocking no matter what!! i removed the lock fuse and they stoped and thats where i am now...WFT is going on???????? any ideas????
 
First thing I would is is check the main grounds and go over all the wireing looking for a break some where. Look for dry rot in the caseing and spots where the wires could be rubbing.

I had that happen in my fireturd cause the power dis-block had corroded.

Hope this helps a bit
