Eletrical problems - Need your help!! Car randomly shuts off, if I can catch the gas pedal in time it will keep going.
Nothing seems to trigger it, idle or not.
Some times it will start right back up then shut off 30 seconds later.
Some times it wont turn on at all - no radio, dome light, gauges off etc...
If it wont start and I touch the positive terminal with a wrench it will start again.
I've disconnected all my amps, speakers, aftermarket fog lights etc..
Cleaned the battery terminals.
Nothing seems to help.
Started -> Had the mods in my sig and needed a new state inspection so I swapped my original manifolds back on.
Here is a list of brand new parts I installed on the swap:
MSD-31239 SPARK PLUG WIRES 8.5MM RACE
NGK TR55IX Spark Plugs
Brand new stock Y pipe & Cat Converter
New exhaust manifold gaskets & bolts
Oil change & new K&N Filter
New AC Delco 140 amp Alternator
New Battery - Autocraft Gold Battery, 700 CCA, Group Size 75 Part No. 75-3

I checked both, positive has a little corrosion which I tried to sand off and clean...
Alternator is on tight and good connection.
Probably will go out and buy a new battery cable today...
