No, you're right. A dead battery will definitely cause problems because
your PCM will kill the injectors if you're not at nominal voltage on the
battery. If your battery is over a year old I would opt to change it out
first. The other thing is, check your power distribution unit fuses too,
not just the ones in the fuse box under the dash. Good luck.

That was my initial thought Ron, but wouldn't that lead to a blown fuse? if
there was a short, what else would blow that would cut total power? What
could short that would cause that drastic of an effect? I have done a visual
check of all the wires, and I cant see any problems.
