What things have gone wrong with the car?

Just bought the car about 2 weeks ago. The check engine light came on along with the battery light. Had the battery and alternator tested and they were fine. The car was idling low and sometimes it wouldn't start until several attempts. Took the car to the mechanic to be diagnosed. It came up as needing an ignition coil. Replaced coil, plugs and wires. It ran OK for 3 days, now it didn't start once and is running sluggish. Does anyone have any suggestions??? Has anyone had this problem before? Apparently this is common in these cars.

General comments?

I'm having a similar problem. Check engine and battery light are on. I replaced the coils, plugs and wires also. Just replaced the alternator. The problem with mine is when it gets hot, the car stalls. You have to pull over to let the car cool and then it starts back up. Any suggestions? I don't want to put anymore money into the car?
