What an ugly coincidence this is! I read this post yesterday and the next ride I take the Cobra suddenly dies for several seconds, and then backfires like a 12 guage shotgun, (scaring the sh** out of the lady in the front yard), and then continues on as though nothing is wrong! I did a quick U-turn back to the garage so as not to be stranded.
I re-read this post and checking the battery on the charger, found it very low. It is being trickle charged now and hopefully this won't happen again.
There may be a slight draw on the battery when the car is off which, over the months takes it's toll. I'll turn off the power switch in the trunk for long periods of hybernbation but possibly this old 1 wire alternator is not charging sufficiently either. Battery is a new Ultima Yellow Top.
Oh Joy!
