Hey guys, I have a 1992 ES 300 and I have had it since 01. I have never had major problems before today. I was driving to lunch when it just cut off on me. No power, nothing. I had hoped it was the battery which is only a couple of years old, but after a visit to Autozone, they tested it and its great. I also do not think its the alternator because the car comes back on after I let it sit for a while. Im banking on an electrical problem, but I cant narrow it down. Any thoughts on this?

You and me are alike. I'm currently on my second alternator due to the original and first replacement failing on me. Left me stranded almost dead center in an intersection

I suspect something is dripping into it for my case though. Sorta sucks as it is a slow painful death for my car each time...

It could be this...... does your car like jolt a little when you step on the accelerator petal because if it does you might need a motor mount check you tube that is connected to the toyota computer ( its located near the top on the right hand side a small box) because if the tube is loose the car can cut off because the computer thinks that the engine is not getting enough air.

Found my problem! I had an inch of water in my retrofitted fog reflectors. Each time I gassed or braked it would slosh up and short my system

I swapped it for projector fogs of the previous years of the 2ES
