coils

my car is really starting to make me mad it has that 3 beep code then pause in it somedays it will start no problem then some days it will start then shut off 10 seconds later or not even start at all. Ive took apart conections to them and cleaned them with electric contact cleaner thinking that it might jsut be a dirty conection, but it still beeps. I dont know what i would look for next or what wires i should check to see if they are broken or not.
if any one would have any information on what to do next or knows whats going on with my car it would be much apprecated thx.

Beeps are covered in the FAQ for FC sticky thread. Please read the FAQ for FC sticky thread before posting as many of the commonly asked questions (such as the one you started this thread with) are covered there.

You must have missed something there.

Clearly in the FAQ for FC three beeps:

3-beeps, pause, repeat - in case abnormality of stepping motor signal:
The buzzer sounds when there are broken wires or short circuits in coils or harnesses.
That is the power steering. The stepping motor for the speed vaiable power steering. There is a short or disconnected wire to the stepping motor.

Not to the ignition coils.

Is the power steering pump still in the car and hooked up???
