Re: HELP!!!!

   Oh, by the way, the ground strap fell off while driving it and
   I didn't realize it until it wouldn't start later. Could this 
   have really messed up something bad??? The car was missing 
   but I think this was do to low voltage because of no 
   alternator charging.

If you mean the battery got disconnected, you can seriously blow all
sorts of electrical circuits due to switching transients that pulse
into hundreds of volts (with more than a coupla amps behind it!),
that the battery will normally "filter" (or "damp out").

If you mean the alternator got disconnected, I don't think you can
damage any of the car's stuff; as to the alternator/voltage regulator,
well . . .
