91 Honda Prelude problems?

I think I have 2 problems....

1. If I leave the car parked for about 4-5 days the battery automatically dies. Car will not start unless I get a jump or switch out the battery.

2. Considering I have had the distributor replaced this should no longer be a problem, but I am going to ask. When car has been all day or for even just 30 minutes - check engine light will suddenly come on. Then, every time I press or let off the accelerator the entire car thumps.

Please help

    1: You have a draw somewhere or possibly a battery with a dead cell. Have autozone or someone check your battery. IF the battery is good, use a ampmeter on the battery and start unplugging fuses till you can isolate the circuit that the draw is on.

    2: The check engine light can be on for many many reasons. You will need to have someone check the computer and see what codes are stored. You may have another problem though, if you step on the gas it then engine makes a thump, this sounds like you have a broken or weak motor or transmission mount.
