Have a strange thing happen today, parked ML, 20mins came back car dead, battery gone dry, went gone new battery. started motor miss firing.

Stop it , fire back up this miss firing, drove had to stop a few times. putt diagnose on miss fire bank 1,3,6 cleared faults. thought mas senor, spay it drove again. thought oil was low. put oil in drove ok, i have only put in crank senor in 8 mths ago,

is there a way of rebooting brain, running ok now, but think it should pull stronger.

Any ideas.

Plus on the dash fuel guage not working as it should.

Could water or some chemical have goten on the fuse box or computer boxes behind it? the tabs on the lids break off and make the box not seal tightly. water in anything in there could cause a battery drain and poor running condition? The fuel filter will obviously not affect the battery. You need to put an amp merter on the battery cable and discoonect things until you find the milliamp draw, if there is one.
