you should check ur spark plugs for the jumpy. and also if the car is a manual there might be a problem with the gearbox either the whole clutch kit is gone or just the master cylinder is not giving away the break fluid..
Are you saying the engine cranks but won't start, or the engine won't crank ? If the engine does not crank, you would check for voltage at the starter, the neutral safety switch, and the key switch as well as the ground connections.
I looked it up on AutoZone.com and it looks like there is only one coil. You can verify that by giving them a call. However, to me it sounds like you might be having a problem with your idle air control valve. Since you are only having problems when the vehicle is at idle I would take a look at your IAC. It is located on the throttle body and is usually held on by two screws. When the IAC starts to go bad you will have problems with the vehicle when idling. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for rating my response and for using FixYa!
If your is exhibiting the same signs as a dead battery it really sounds like your alternator is bad. If you are handy, you can remove the alternator and take it to an autoparts store like autozone and they will test it for you. This is not a hard job to do, usually 2 electrical connections, 3-5 mounting bolts and you have to pop the belt off. Just reverse it to install a new one. Good luck! - Nick
