Welcome to AF.

Please use some better grammar man, your post is hard to read and understand whats going on. The better we understand your problem the better we can help you.

Does the car have a check engine light on?

Is this the 1.8l motor or the or the 2.0l? Does the car have a MAF on it? If so maybe air is getting around it so the motor is getting unmetered air causing it to run lean.

well it has the 2.0l n/t

the problems are:
when you start it up its running fine but wen u get in the car and push the clutch in to move its stalls out. then it wont start back up and drains the battery.
the starter finally went on it yesterday it like locked up. it has a push button start i dont know if that could be a reason for the battery draining or not?

someone told me it could b the clutch but i just replaced it like a week ago. could that b the problem?

So now you cant even drive it? It sounded like in your first post that it would drive but just sluggish.

From you last post it sounds like it runs fine but as soon as you push the clutch in it will stall or do you have to put it in gear before it will stall.

well no its just sluggish and has no power when im driving it.
and it dont have to be in gear
it can b just running and idleing fine then when i get in and try to move it, i push the clutch in and it stalls out.
then it wont start back up.. it like drains the battery

Have you given the battery a good charge and checked to make sure the alternator is charging?

I had a mits eclipse and started doing the same thing. I took it to the mits shop and many dollars later, was told the alternator was shot. Well, after that little ride, I had it fixed and got rid of it.


edit.... Oh yea... it would drain the battery over night.

ok guys
heres the problem now.
my 1991 talon non turbo is still really sluggish n holds back power
i just put a differant starter on it, a bosch alternator and some diff. spark plug wires.
i took my 91 thottle body out of it and put a 90 throttle body on it.. its way differant but it runs tho..
like i had it running for like a hour today it was idleing a little bit wierd like its fluttering n trying to stay started it almost sounds like there a vaccum leak some where but i couldnt find any at all.
but then i walked into my garage and it like cut out n stalled.
i dont know where else to look for the problem.
need some help guys
thanks
