have you had the timing belt done on the car if the
timing belt tensioner is weak you might hear a
ticking sound coming from motor it could be loud
but if it starts to make a clocking noise like a knock-
knock noise as it loses power you will need some
timing belt work done if not have you changed the
coil packs spark plugs and wires check into that
also or there might be a bad positive connection on
the battery yes it's possible if you have aftermarket
terminals because my 02 Lancer has aftermarket
terminals but I do have the positive side inline fuse
which was designed for the car on there I have seen
cars without it and they have more battery issues
than anything I've ever seen so if you don't have the
plastic peace on the positive side and has a fuse
inside of it which also screws to the battery terminal
and holds two other wires that may be the problem
for power loss or check the alternator have it tested
