Ok hears the story.
When i was driving my VS commodore this afternoon the car at low speed started having a misfire and then the engine just turned off, all the lights on the dash stayed alight but the car switches off, i loose my power steering and the car doesn't wanna start again until at least 10 minutes after the car has stalled. When i do start the car again it idles rough and sounds like the car keeps loosing power and throttle response is poor,and the more load i put on the car for example, going slow around a car park and then put the power steering to full lock it idles rough again and switches off.
This same problem happend 2 months ago whilst driving in a busy intersection and turning a corner at slow speed. I took it to an auto electrician he said it was the negative battery terminal so he replaced it and then it worked fine up until today, so i rang the auto electrician again at around lunch time and he came and cleaned the positive terminal started fine but happend again this afternoon????
It definitely sounds like an alternator problem but the guy i bought it off just replaced it before i bought it off him.
Anyone had this problem its quiet scary lol
