dean;

You need to look for an electrical short. I think you turn off all electical stuff then disconect one battery post then read how much currant is flowing across the battery post to the disconnected battery cable. It should be a very small amout. When the battery dies the fuel pump quits and you don't go any farther.

The finance people that offered the variable rate mortgages that the taxpayers are going to have to pay off should be put in jail. And the poor souls that  got them need to take an IQ test… Are you smarter than a fifth grader? What a scam!

So once i put my mulitmeter in series (multimeter in between the post of the battery and the cable).... THen what? If the car is off, i should have no voltage and no current correct? if the car is on, i should be reading....?

Could you give me a few more steps i should maybe follow to see if i have a short?

What am i looking for that will alert me that i have a short in the system?
