So i bought a 98 cav from my sister n law no problems... Then the batterey
went dead.. It was a side batteray and switch it with my hyundai top post
battery and had to buy adaptors for the side wires... Then I start my car and
all lights keep on coming on and off radio, and when it gets to the middle of
cold and hot it all of sudden drops back to cold and bounces back n forth...

i start my car, for a coouple of seconds ... sometimes my car thinks im
stealing it for some reason to....please help.. one more thing this is my work

Your car is shot. Buy another one.

Yea, really. Wasn't the life cycle of a Cavy 5 years?

I'd start with the correct battery, properly installed, fully charged,
then test the alternator. If you can't do that, have it towed to
someone who can

theft light is usually solved with a resistor put in where the key
cylinder is, the key cylinder goes bad and causes the theft to think
the car may be stolen. In my car it's black and yellow wires behind
where the radio is, I just cut them and soldered in a 2 ohm resistor.
you can google for the problem and the solution to your particular
model.
