I got some probs

My car always started in a turn of the key, Then I installed the msd coil and it started in a half a turn of the key. Now when i installed my battery to the trunk so i could put slp induction in my car turns and turns, then i stop and gotta do it again and about half the time it starts and if it dont turn over i just drain the battery. We ran the power wire to the starter but the other positive lead where the battery used to be i didnt know what to do with so i just taped it off. The old negative wire i ground to the shock mount. so i dont know if i did it wrong or i have a fuel problem. but now i noticed that when i put my blinker on the volts move up and down. Need help fast, I dont want to ask for a jump every where i go. HELP HELP

A bit confused by your post, but I think the positive lead that you taped off may have been the alternator wire, which would explain the fluctuation in voltage while the car is running. The problem with you car not wanting to start is most likely an unrelated matter because if the battery is strong enough to turn the engine over it is strong enough to keep the car running... for at least a few minutes.

I was kinda thinking that with that end taped off that the fuel pump wasent getting enough voltage to supply sufficent fuel. because even when it keeps turning over when someone jumps me it takes like 20 seconds of turn at least to start
