How about your battery cables in the trunk? Are they connected firmly?

yea battery cables are tight...it cant be my charging system anyway due to the fact that when the car turns off, just the engine dies, all the accessories and dash lights stay on...

I posted a reply to another comment here where his car was just dying out randomly. My car had the same problem the last few days, where it'd stall out mid driving. Happened a few times, very dangerous as one of the times I was in the middle of a turn on the on-ramp. I thought it was the heat playing mind games with the ECU with air density fluctuations. But my air filter had popped off allowing much more air than I was tuned for. I guess the ECU is very sensitive to that, as I would have though the K&N cone filter would not be all that restrictive. Anyways I would check for air leaks

Check into your fuel pump and maybe the fuel pump relay switch. Not sure how it works on the 10's but on the 9's if the fuel pump is bad the car will shut off. Just another suggestion

I second the above posts toward either fuel pump or the filter.

If both of those are good, I would start looking at the ECU.

Good luck man, I feel your pain, I had a guy throw a rock on my windshield, that little crack made me bout wanna cry I can only imagine what your going through.
