Possible Electrical Problem? Options

[kash1355]

So in the summer I was having a problem with starting my car sometimes .. and LEWFX told me it was probably my air intake control valve. I just used the cleaner and sprayed it and then the starting was better.

Towards the fall I had to change my battery 3 times cuz it would just get fully drained. Like I would try boosting it home and at the mechanics and it wouldn't boost at all. I think decided to buy a Yellow Top Optima battery .. I maybe didnt drive my car for 3 days tops and then one day decided to drive it and the battery was totally dead and drained. I took it back to autosource and they said it was totally drained and i might have an electrical problem.

Now my car is just sitting in the garage for the winter, I called a nearby mechanic and he said there might be an electrical problem (possible having to do with the alternator) --- I seriously have no clue when it comes to anything electrical / engine related but im trying to learn.

From my story I just told you --- anyone have any ideas, you guys are waaayy more experienced so id just you more than a mechanic cuz u guys actually know my type of car hahah.
