Probably need a new voltage regulator, or battery is so bad it can't take a charge

pretty sure it is your battery. Try getting another good battery from another vehicle and install it into your Z. If it runs, then you need another battery.

You should probably read a sticky before the admins come down on you for your language. For some crazy reason they like proper punctuation, sentance structure and spelling.

I have had that prob a few times. Last time it was bolt on the break pedal came out causing the trigger to stay up and the break lights to stay on.

I doubt your are that lucky, so i would suggest lugging out the multimeter and checking to see what, if anything, is drawing power when the ignition is off. Could end up being just a grounded wire. Best of luck.
