fcm - Listening to the video: it's turning over, battery may be a little weak but it sounds like speed wise it's within 'normal' (RPM wise). No sign that there's fire in the hole tho...

prettyb... I'd disconnect the battery, pull the alternator, and take it down to your favorite auto parts store. An Autozone (etc) can test it for you. In no way are sparks normal. Just sayin!

besides the checking the alternator cause of the sparking, is there gas in the tank? i see that the needle on the gauge is a little low. its a simple thing i overlooked when i put my car back together after it got stolen.... guess they wanted the gas too.... spent a good 30 mins going wtf before i put more gas in lol
