Might wanna check out the relay, seems kind of strange that your battery would want to die after a long drive, since it should have been getting charged. |

ok so i checked it again. The code was actually 1223. got confused somehow. Thats a code for my thermostat sensor..or something. So...Not sure. The morning after i posted this i tried to start her up and it would die right when i attempted to give it a little gas. When i did get the RPM's up a little it sounded like it wasnt getting oil correctly..valve wise. Im thinking Very sludgy oil built up over night...and the car just killed itself...maybe a safety of some sort? idk. Since then it has been running fine. No check engine light. Ill give her a lube job when i get back from oregon on monday. Oh got a leather shift knob from the stealership and some weather stripping....kicks ass.
