I was driving ni the parking lot today when my 240sx died on me. I think i was in second gear about 3-5 mph when it suddenly died. The unsual thing is, that even my electricals died, so i told myself that i didn't kill the engine. When i pushed it to a parking spot and waited for like 10 minutes, my electricals (clock, etc.) started working again and i started the engine. Then when i went home, i turned it off and tried to start it. then when all the seatbelts and the light went on etc. in my dash and i was about to put it in ignition, it died again killing all my electricals. What could be the problem? Now it's working fine..... I'm just worried that it might happen again tomorrow morning.

Sorry for the delay in responding.

If you haven't already figured it out.. I would check the battery connections first. Sometimes one of the terminals will come loose.

Battery is toast or just simply your connections. Either they are crodded up or loose. May need to be replaced.If it's not that let me know I got a list of what it could be but not usual under normal use. I'm in a steering/suspension/ and electronics class on autos.
