This morning I was driving along and my car started to stall out on me, I look down at the gauge cluster and everything is off. It starts to flash on and off, with the stalling motor as a travel along. Also everytime I stopped at a light the engine stopped stalling and all the guages came on but as soon as I was back up to about 40 it would start agian. What would cause this?? I am thinking security system but I don't know anyone think they know what in the hell this could be??

With any of these kind of electrical problems, I always recommend that you start by taking apart the battery cables, clean the connections and clean your grounds.

Mine had trouble starting one time out of nowhere and I cleaned the battery terminals real well and that was it. The side post terminals corrode easily. Make sure they are spotless and screwed in tight. Try some top posts next...Have the alternator tested, it could be that.

Sure sounds like battery related, or a loose ground somewhere. The battery hold down is secure right? Weird that it comes back alive every time when stopping at a light. Make sure the battery isn't moving around.

I agree with these guys, check the battery connections. I had a the same thing happen, it was a loose positive terminal.

OK, so you took of the battery terninals, cleaned them and cleaned the grounds - the main ground from the negative cable and the grounds at the back of the drivers side cylinder head?

Next follow your your positve battery cable to the starter and the heavy wire over to the alternator. Then the positive cable goes over to the power distribution block next to the fuse boxes. Make sure all those connections are clean and tight.
