Default car dieing =/

so a couple of weeks ago i was coasting to a stop sign and all of a sudden my car dies and i am like what the **** like the whole engine cuts off with the power. i did nothing because i thought it was a one time thing. then i read in the forum to clean your throttle body. i did that and i had a place check my alternator they said it was perfectly good. so i was driving at about 40 miles an hour yesterday and my radio dies and my gauges flickerand the car basically dies, but after 2 seconds of coasting the engine turnsn on again. does anyone know what could be the problem???? any help is greatly appreciated thank you.

May want to check your battery connections. Sometimes they can be just loose enough for yoru car to die but then you can start it back up again. Make sure they aren't corroded, and if they are just lightly sand the terminals and cables with some sandpaper.
