does the car sound like it is flooding when you start it? the battery will die on you if its flooded and you keep cranking it. there is a yellow and black plug underneath the dash behind the steering wheel. try pulling it out (with a fresh battery) holding the gas pedal down until it wants to "kick over" when it happens plug it back in and turn it over while barely tapping the gas. if it starts draining the battery jump the car while doing this.
