I figured it was a fuel problem but if it were that it wouldn't just shut down, it would more like putt-putt out. So I had the battery checked and reinforce the tie down but now it does it more than before.
How can I test the ground or check my electrical shortage?
Thanx guys

My car had a similiar problem, the clasp on the battery terminal corroded and split, still clasping it and would sometimes jump or rattle about, turning the car off completely.

Your clasp holding onto your battery terminal maybe corroded, and when certain amounts of vibrations, or battery movement (when slowing down, or turning) the clasp disconnects from the terminal briefly and turns your car off. This happened to me for couple days before i figured it out...

those strap type clamps on the battery they put on the cars are prone to snapping because they are easy to overtorque. Usually they don't snap all the way just enough so you get poor connectivity. I'd inspect both ends of the main battery cables (positive and negative) before you get into anything exotic.
