From original intro thread you mentioned it has been sitting outside for 10 years, with that said has critters got to anything?? Have you gone under over and inbetween to look for wires possibly chewed? Just a thought but worth a look see

Here are some photos gentlemen.
I looked and found one wire that was connected to the inner fender, next to the fuse box that was just there. Could this be my problem? Also, I double checked the fuses today. My question right now is there anyway to check the larger fuses? like the head fuse and the EFI fuse?

If its minor sparks, it may just be accessories getting powered up. If its major sparks, you may have something shorted out. There are any number of possibilities. Battery cell shorted, alternator windings shorted, insulation rubbed off on a wire somewhere, etc.... Keep searching if its serious sparks...

you should always install the negative terminal on the battery last.
if the negative terminal is hooked up and you install the positive one any loads in the system will start drawing current as soon as you start to touch the battery post. The more current draw the bigger the sparks.

If major, could exactly be the same thing that blew the 80-amp fuse and could do it again unless fixed.
Thick wire to fender next to Fuse block is the main body ground on first gen . connected to batt neg. probably come on yours.
Someone on forum must know typical resistance presented to battery with engine off. This is a safe way and a good place to start. Disconnect battery cables, measure resistance between pos & neg terminals of cables. IF significantly lower (meaning short) that resistance above, disconnect major components (alternator, starter solenoid, large cable to starter motor, audio power distribution cables) one at a time until you find that abnormally-low resistance disappear. Safer than experimenting and blowing fuses each time you try something that does not fix problem.
Good luck,

Sorry about the delay guys. Work and college are kicking my butt..
I figured out the issue with the sparks and sloved it.. it was a naked wire for the starter... im a dipward. yes I know.
My next problem is that I have no key for the blasted thing!
any suggestions on how I should handle this small problem?
In other news Ive been giving the engine bay some TLC. Hope you guys havnt forgot about me! cheers!

They can't cut a key with out something to copy it from..
You can get the key code from the door lock cylinder and try hand filing it. Or go to the dealer and if you provide enough proof of ownership they can cut one from the key code that's linked to your Vin. Or pay the local mobile locksmith about 50 to come cut one on-site. Some are better at this than others, find out which tow company the local OD uses and then use the locksmith they have on site during auction day (watched a guy cut 12 keys in under an hour one day and he only had to start over on one vehicle)..

Or, you can go the dealership, I believe, and order a set to rekey the entire vehicle. Key and lock cylinders to match for the doors, ignition, tailgate, etc.
They're all actually pretty easy to replace.
Good luck, and don't lock anything!
