It ran fine and then one night went to start it and then it stalled and then started it and it ran good for 10 seconds and then started sputtering and went to a low idle. now the car will start and run with that low idle and then eventually die the car out and battery seems dead but next day it will run again. Battery light came on too. what can it be?
Check fuel pressure. Weak or failing fuel pump.
You can't do any testing, until you have a battery
that will take and hold a charge
Then you move on to testing the Alternator,then
Fuel Pressure & continue on with other testing
It's the ICM,ignition control module. It's quite common.Under your coil packs is a plate that short out and the firing order gets confused.

check tps sensor check idle air control valve or iacv for proper func

It could be the ICM. Located underneath the coil packs.
