thanks for responding.
after i replaced the battery, it started up fine, but then it would stall out when i put it in geer(reverse). i am also getting the check engine code, and sometimes it will lope when at idle, sometimes its at a grand, and sometimes its where i want it in geer at around 530rpm. also when i drive it, the power seems very low(kinda like im driving my moms PT Looser) the last time i started it, i had to give it some gas or it would stall

Use a paper clip or wire bent into a "U" shape and use this site to pull the code. Then come back and tell us what trouble code you got.
