Either have a bad battery, sometimes they go bad and the symptom is a "self" discharge that will run it down in a few days..
or.
You have something inside the car that's running it down.

The way to check is to unhook the battery for the time that its down and see if the battery is dead when you return. If the battery goes flat unhooked, you have a bad battery. If the battey holds its charge while unhooked you have a drain from the car.

Your car I think was bad about one of the cooling fan relays sticking "on". Just something to be aware of.

If you have any rubber fuel lines in the fuel system, I would replace them. Over a period of time the insides of the hoses swell up and stop the fuel flow to the engine.

1988 sukuki quits going down road will not start starts when set over night

Check the small wires coming off the altenater. Once the engine starts, the car get's power from the altenater. These wires are bad about breaking into, (on all vehicles) but the insulation stays unbroken. The wire makes contact enough to run, but the feul pump gets hot and shuts down. Or the wire looses contact and shorts out. check the wires for a limp, week section and splice where broken.

Ram 1500 239 runs about 8 to 12 miles then backfires and looses power let sit a while and run good for acuople more miles before running bag again

It sounds like your ignition coil is overheating. Once it cools down it will fire properly until it gets hot again. Replace the ignition coil and you should be all set.

I have a 2000 civic si. I had a problem with my battery so I replaced it. Still went bad. Replaced alternator, still went bad. Have no clue now. What might I b missing?

Did the battery go bad or down? Batteries fail if their overcharged, not charged, or dragged down from sitting with a draw on them. The altenater may not work correctly as a fuse may be blown. The big power wire on the back of the altenater is hot all the time the battery is connected. Make sure that it is. The plug that plugs into the altenator one wire hot all the time and the other is on with the key if itdoes'nt do that your on the serch to do that. with a volt OHM meter you can tell if it's charging 14.5 volts running and 12.6 volts sitting with the key off. if the battery is below 10 volts the altanator may be a good one but it's smart enough to not to try to charge a dead battery so it won't turn on. The liklyhood of the battery being bad even with it new is possible so don't rule that out.

Stops running while driving do the road, turns

Probably the fuel pump, or a plugged fuel filter. Also may be the Catalytic Convertor plugging. Will need to be diagnosed further. Hope this helps.

The jet keep on letting out to much fuel

The float in the carb is sticking..Buy a can of carb clean and spray it down as good as you can..In every hole and what you can get to...Alot of times this will work without having to take it off and clean it..After you spray it down really good let it sit for about 20 min.That will give it enough time to break down theat old gummy gas build up..After letting it sit Start it up..You may have to hold the gas pedal to the floor in order to start it because of the over satutration of the cleaner..After letting it run for awhile let it idle and go under the hood with it still idling and rev the motor up and closing the choke at the same time..You may have to rev it up a little high..When you rev it up and the motor is racing quick close the choke and the motor will start to die down and rev it a little with the choke on..What this does is by closing the choke when its reving up is it sucks all that crud build up out .You may have to do that a few times but it works great..Good Luck and Have a great day

Loosing power at cruising speed

Hi. I have two Dynasty LE cars, (a 91 and a 93). Both have the 3.3 litre. The 1991 had almost the same problem as yours except it would only do it once the engine warmed up, (similar to your freeway issue, given distance and time for the engine to warm up to operating temp.) I had it in about three shops before the dealer found an intermittent fault with the cam and crank sensors. I replaced them and now it runs just fine. I hope this helps.
