The battery is fine. PSP is leaking but not that bad. The last guy who did work on it temporarily fixed the issue so it wont drip on the alternator. BTW, it ran for 20 mins on the hoist. and as soon as they lowered the hoist and removed the arms, it died. I don't see the low battery issue here either.

The ignition coil , the one in the front top by the engine block.

Kinda sucks as I've wasted over 3500$ on this car through mechanics alone. Now it's more of a burden than fun.
