i posted a question a lil while ago about my 93 EJ1 just dying and not starting back up. well come to find out the alternator was bad so i replaced it and thought it was fixed but once again that same day when coming home the car starting dyin on me and i barely made it home. So i dunno if there is some kind of main relay that controls your Power Windows, radio, speedometer, RPMs and overall drivibility of the car cause i lose all of these when it starts dying. Maybe my ECU? Any info will help cause i dont wanna have to buy another car ive invested a good amout of money into it. thanx

Check all of your grounds and make sure there isn't a bare wire somewhere touching metal. Also make sure you battery is holding a charge.

The ECU doesn't control any of those things except the engine. Look elsewhere. It's probably a relay or ground problem, or terminal corrosion.

well i did wire up my fog lights not to long ago would that cause those kind of problems if the ground wasnt right.

it definately sounds like it could be a ground. and it could possibly be a wore that was left loose or bare when you put in your fogs. i'd start with checking them.

the white power cable that runs from the fuse box under the hood to alternator was breakin apart didnt see it cause its wrapped up in wire loom. I ran some voltage tests and found the alternator's voltage wasnt gettin to the battery so i took the wire loom off and saw wire showing outside the casing.I swapped the cable and no more problems car runs great doesnt die anymore. thanx for everybody's input. CLOSE THREAD PLEASE

Yea my alternator cable snapped off the o clamp and I was stranded on 664 at 11:30 at night in the rain. It was dark as shit and it took me two hours to figure out the problem and ghetto rig it to get me home. I since then replaced the wire the following day.
