bad batteries will cause a bunch of problems, try a nother battery first or lcharge the one in the car . then see what happens. otherwise go to tune up under diy on the site here it will walk you through how to check your ignition system. also fue press ure must be 41-47 psi to run the car. so check fuel pressure.
