I am hoping that by posting this, I can get some type of suggestions. My brother gave me this car and I drive it, since work is only 10 minutes away, and I can usually get there before the car starts losing power. He took it to several mechanics, and they all said something different. Also, he had some sort os sensor replaced, which helped at first, but the problem came right back, and is getting worse. If you don't drive it for a week, the battery is dead. When tested, the battery is good, but needs a charge. New alternator, plugs, wires. When it loses power, it goes really slow. Then slower and slower until it doesn't go at all, and then it turns off. Sometimes it turns off, but it will turn right back on. Sometimes I have to wait a while.
