Misfires

FWIW, on my gf's focus, the engine would rev close to stalling when idling and you turn on the AC. Couldnt figure it out til the starter gave out, and found a frayed battery cable.

This power draw has been haunting me for a really long time. But inly recently has it been bad enough to cause all the misfiring, leaning out etc issues. Before the starter went out I was just telling a friend of mine that whatever’s wrong with the car, I wish it would just break. Idc if its a little more money to replace if it’s broken but at least I know wtf was going on. It was driving me insane. And 3 days later the starter fried and here we are lol.
