i had the same problem in my 95 ta back in the day. one day died and all of a sudden it was fine for a few months.....well this continued more and more later on. took it to the dealer and they found it was clogged up cats...just a thought but might want to check them if it happens more.

Also, tonight I started it up and it didn't want to idle. And when I First tried to start it it was like the battery was dead. Then the clock on the radio was reset. Maybe my battery cables connections need cleaned.

Definetly clean those cables. Mine did the same thing and it turned out to be a corroded positive side cable.

sounds like you lost power! start it up and go out and pull on your battery cables at the battery (see if they are loose at all) see if it kills the car, also check the connection at the starter also!

you still should clean the cable ends for maint.
