Today was a different story: when I was idling at a stoplight, the car lost all power: the engine died and all electricity was lost immediately from car(flashers wouldn’t work, odometer shut off, engine died, etc). Turning the key on and off did nothing, but fortunately about 90 seconds later the power to the car came back on and it started up fine. I drove home about 40 miles, and if I kept the car above 2k rpms (even when stopped) there were issues whatsoever.

i checked my battery terminal connections and they are tight without any corrosion. Any other thoughts?? I am wanting to take a road trip next weekend but would like to have this sorted before I embark!

thanks for the wisdom and I did try searching for this in the forum but could not find it. However, apologies if this has been covered before and I missed it.
