Check the battery to chassis ground and the engine to chassis ground.

Then quit 'looking' and do something - maybe undo the ground points, sand them a little to clean them and re-tighten them.

How many miles on the car? Is the car stock? Do you have underdrive pulleys?

Let me know how that works out for you...

I asked questions, you give me no answers. I ask you to 'try' something and you respond with the above statement.

If the extent of your troubleshooting skills is left to 'looking' and you can't see anything wrong - take it a to the dealer or a garage and have them look at it - or buy a new car.
