Check wires. Mainly the battery wires. then work your way out. Start the car up and start shaking wires until it stops. If that doesnt work, then get a mechanic to look.

It's not your battery. It might be your IAC valve (intake air control valve) or an EGR valve, maybe even a vacuum leak. The battery is fine. Your fuel filter is most likely fine. When the fuel filter plugs, the car will usualy idle ok but will lose power during acceleration.
These CIS vehicle are tempermental. Best thing to do is change the air filter, clean air flow sensor plate(Spray gunout on a rag and lightly clean it ) Gun out throttle body and a slight idle adjustment. Finallyonce a month put some fuel injection cleaner in the tank. See how this works before we start testing items.
Two areas to consider are the MAP sensor and the Idle Control Valve, both pricey items for your vehicle. I'd go to a local autoparts chain and see if they can run a free diagnostic test for you. The codes will point you in the right direction.
i shoul not afect any thing unless you replace the batterie with the car runing, and some radios have antitheft code if batterie die or disconect the radio will ask you to type a code in order to work again but most of times it display the worl code on the digital screen
