That's what I was missing.
The night before I got a P1383 crankshaft position timing retarded CEL and tonight car is kaput. Gave it one key, 2 keys, engine turns once and than that's it.
I honestly don't know what to do anymore, I think I'm going to start looking for another ride, maybe a Mazda 6 GT, but in my heart I don't want to let go of the 'tour; got attached to this damn thing

Charge is 14v constant, no more battery lights on breaking but it's coming on when the motor revs past 5k; rather unusual since it didn't do that before. Turned everything on, especially the biggest consumers and the car behaved good.

Got a great deal of help from my thread here http://contour.org/ceg-vb/showthread.php?t=36779.
Tonight I'm going to have the alternator checked out, see whether or not a need a 15A or a 30A but it's most likely a 15A since I don't think the zetec can handle a 30A.
Rented cars suck balls.
