I have an odd electrical problem...
I have a short somewhere in my interior light circuit (reading lamps, door lights ect...) and I have damn near stripped the car and am just short of rewiring the entire car with high gauge wire (yeah for working at OSH =P).
I'm not sure if it's an anomaly or what, but when I turn my car on, the AC automatically starts up and the radio has no memory function.
Are the problems related?
or where should i look besides the door jamb switches and testing for conductivity with random spots?

For what it's worth, the AC and radio behave that way any time the battery is disconnected. If this problem is car-wide, then your ECU is getting reset too, which means the drive cycle is getting wiped. Can't really say what the cause is cuz I'm no pro at this stuff, but I would check ground wires, relays, etc.

O.K. so my grandfather owns a wrecker company, and be were basicly given a 91 Stealth. It has the 3.0 DOHC V-6 NON-TURBO Engine, I used to have a 91 Stealth R/T T/T AWD. We got the car because noone can seem how to get it to run. A bunch of Mexicans put in a new engine, it turns over, it getting air and gas, BUT it wont fire. Timing is right, and belt is brand new....I checked out all the normal things you would normally think of such as plugs, wires, fuses, and so on... Not sure where else to check, however we did notice 2 or 3 wires that were not connected, not sure where they go if anywhere. Any good sugestions?

Repost this in a new thread. This one is kind of old and dead so no one will pay much attention. And get some pics of what wires you're talking about.
