You need to test not guess if you haven't got the equipment take it to an auto electrician and they will diagnose it in a couple of minutes.
If the battery is constantly flat it is either the battery itself, no charge or a series voltage leak to ground. This is common in these cars and it is usually a leaking diode in the rectifier of the alternator.
It needs to be checked properly, you won't find the answers on here and in the long run it will cost you less if you get it properly diagnosed.

Gary Gearhead is sweet on the money. The previous suggestions nevertheless word. consistently do away with the easy until now you assume the complicated. Checking spark (like Gary defined) is the nicely suited first step. as quickly as you have desperate you have spark, it's time to be sure in case you have gasoline transport. in case you have gasoline injection, you probable can not scent gasoline on the throttle physique, so do not even project putting out the air air purifier. Take out a plug and crank the engine. carry your quit the spark plug hollow on the same time as cranking. If there is no scent of unburnt gas, gasoline transport is the situation. that's possible which you scent gasoline, however the injectors are clogged to the factor the place there isn't sufficient gas to fire whilst sparked. i've got considered this until now. Get some starter fluid and spray it into the air air purifier intake on the same time as cranking the engine. If it particularly is it, the engine will initiate, yet once you shut it off, it won't initiate returned.
