Last night i had to take the battery out of the car so i could get the the wireharness. Put everything back together and the car started right up. On my wayto work this morning everything was cool, I stopped at a light and noticed my RPM's going down and down and down. next thing i know the RPM gauge is at 0 and the car stalled, But is wasn't a rough stall it felt like i shut the car off. No stuttering or bogging. Turned the key and it started right back up and everything was fine. Got to the next light and car stayed normal. But then 10 min later it stalled at a light again. Same thing it was a really smooth stall, No jerking or anything. Would a loose ground on the battery do this? I removed the ground from the terinal and chassis when i took the battery out. and put it back on normal, Maybe its not tight?
What to you think> |

Doesn't make sense because if it were a ground you wouldn't have power when you turned the key after the stall. Unless you did something to establish a good connection, like moving the bad ground wire or battery teminal.

Bad battery ground wouldnt affect it while it's running only on starting. Is the car auto or manual? Have you checked all the fuses/ connections at the alternator? A faulty ignition switch could also cause this so let me know what else has been done or what you find out from above.
