Hi Jarvis,
One question/one suggestion:
Which engine do you have in the car, and is it a sedan or convert?
I would go to an Autozone parts store and ask for a free fault code readout of the engine controller via a socket that is under the dash near the steering column. That is the most efficient way to see what the problem is by utilizing the self-diagnostic capability of the engine computer. If there is none near you, then go to an independent shop for a readout at a cost of $40 or less. Let me know what 4-digit fault codes come up and we'll go from there. You might try the ignition key:"on-off-on-off-on and leave on" doing that in 5 seconds or less. Then see if the odometer reading changes to show a 4-digit number(s). If not, then that approach won't work and you have to get the plug-in readout.
