1. have you checked the fuel injectors to see if that's what's causing the engine to buck around the engine bay?2. digital cluster not working, have you checked for loose plugs on the back of it?3. battery not staying charged = bad alternator. that brake and battery light coming on tells me it's your alternator without a doubt.

can't take it past 3k, it could be your mafs or your tps. I suspect your tps first though.

All the problems could be tied to one or more bad ground connections.

injectors are fine i have venom injectors and fuelrail, alt is fine its the voltage regulator thatz bad buschings are shot to ****. and for the cluster i tore the dash and checked and cleaned all the plugs.....but the main problem i really had was a bad power stearing pump so i took it off car is a lot quicker now
