I couldn't begin to tell you if this is your problem, but regarding your specific question, I've seen it fairly regularly with audio amplifiers. Corrosion or a bad connection will cause errors, but if you hit it with enough juice, the current will arc across a gap or make its way through a corroded connection. Low power systems may be affected (DME), while high power systems (starters) aren't.

thanks for the replies ill be bring her to dealership sometime next week. fingers crossed it isnt too expensive. also i tried to ground my engine from another spot to the chassis, that did not help

update ended up being the distribution box on my battery. one of the red cables on that box supplies power to the dme. i replaced the box ontop of the battery and what do ya know sje fired right up!! ended up being a 55$ part. so all in all alternator battery and distribution box about 600$ in the whole but all new parts.
