Default Please help me

Today I started my car up went to work and work, when I come out for lunch my battery was dead after I changed it 3 weeks ago. I don't understand why my battery goes dead so often I have tested both battery alternator and starter everything comes back good. Then I leave work again that night, I start my car up to warm up and my car cuts off while warming up, had to turn the key a couple of times before it would start back up. What is going on with this vehicle after I fix one thing something else goes wrong. I have also changed my ignition coil twice and ignition control module twice as well. I even switched to the performance ignition coil. What am I doing wrong. Please help me...

Ok, so I have done the Parasitic Draw Test, followed the instruction to the tee, and everything is fine, but I guess I will have to see if my battery dies again. I just don't know at this point.

When you said "turn the key a couple of times" was the engine turning over or was there nothing? Also make sure your terminals are clean and you have tight connections. Check all battery related cables both ground and positive. Check wires at starter and alternator for anything loose, frayed, chaffed or corroded. If you have a volt/ohm meter, there are lots of videos on youtube that will help you test and diagnose electrical issues. These are not that expensive (less that $10 at most discount hardware stores).

It could be either a bad ignition coil or control module you might want to check those
