Re: electrical problem?

I'd say you're battery is still low. Charge it first, just running the engine won't charge the battery. Also, you can cook an alternator trying to use it to charge your dead/low battery, or blow out your alternator by disconnecting the ground wire. I know on computer controlled vehicles, that's a big no-no, due to the potential for a voltage spike resulting in fried electronics.
Good luck.
