There was no problem with the battery. It sat some and got cranked a bunch while working on it so i threw a trickle charger on and topped it up so i know it is full voltage, but it was never really down, it always cranked fine.

By "loss of power" I mean the engine was hesitating like it wasn't consistently getting fuel and the car didn't have it's normal performance power. That came first, then it was stalling out after starting, now it won't start.
