Engine Performance problem
1993 Saturn Sedan 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 130K miles

When trying to start car, sounds like engine is not turning over fast enough to start. Replaced battery that was only generating 10 volts. Still sounds like engine does not turn over fast enough to start.

Was able to get car started by pumping gas pedal repeatedly. Now car won't idle. Below about 1200 rpm the engine wants to die. Any suggestions what to look at next?

Check and test the idle air control valve motor, throttle position sensor and manifold absolute pressure sensor.
