96 z28 a4

well we just put lt4 hot cam kit on my car yesterday and it was running fine after the install...we turned it on and off a couple of times and it was just running great...i went out with some of my friends and about 3-4 hours later i go and try to turn on my car but it wouldnt....it cranks and everything but it just seems theres no spark...

we just pulled my car to my house..

i looked at my gauges and saw that my battery was pretty low and the clock said it was 1:00am and it was already 4:00am

so i get up this morning and go have my battery checked and charged and my alternator also...but still wont start.

i already checked the spark plugs and wires..

what should i do? im lost

Are you getting spark at the plugs?

update:

messed around with the ICM and the car started...i let it idle for a while and then i took it out for a drive. I noticed that the battery gauge kept going down slowly..then it just went all the way down and all the lights turned off but the car was still on(which means alternator is still good right?)

drove it home and turned it off. Now it sounds like its the starter...i hate this


Edit: car is still on stock tune....idk if that has anything to do with this?

have your alt tested for free at an autoparts store.

Couple of fast checks.. Did you plug the small red wire on black connector into the back of the alternator when you reassembled ? Do you have access to a voltmeter to verify 13.5 volts at battery when running ?
