Hmm...maybe a bad ground? Are your battery terminals clean?

Exactly right.It's a bad ground somewhere between the battery and the frame.OR, it's the power lead from the battery into the car.Check your connections at the battery first, then start tracing the wires back into the car. (Ground wire first)

LOL, my 95 base model has this same problem from time to time.It vibrates bolts loose about every 15000 miles.

Just keep them all tight, or use some threadlock and it'll all be good.
