Car shutting off and on randomly while driving

[psulja]

Yes I did. I moved it around to try and take a look at it to see if there was any exposed wire.

Fixed it! Battery was grounding out against the tie down bracket. Temporary fix was jamming some stuff on each side of the battery to hold it in place.

Look at the burn marks on the terminal.

Glad to hear you got it sorted out! I had a similar situation with my NA, I checked the grounds on the battery terminal and it solved it as well!

Yea, I checked the battery a couple times before but there weren't any burn marks anywhere. Then yesterday I tried to accelerate off a light and it completely died on me as I let out the clutch. Limped it to where I was intending to go and checked the main relay again and then opened the trunk and saw those burn marks for the first time.

holy crap!

a good back/security option might be to remove the battery and hit that area with plastidip or glue some rubber sheeting around there.

Good idea and how about tightening that hold-down bracket? Was it loose enough to be sliding back and forth on the battery?

I thought that might be the problem. I had similar issues that's why I mentioned it.

Yea, thanks for mentioning it, that made me keep checking back there to see if something was wrong with it. The first couple times everything looked normal and the battery wasn't shifted. This time it was rotated a little and there was those burn marks.
