Guys,
Boy do I have a strange one for you. Give you some brief background, I had a bad pressure sensor a while ago and during the troubleshooting process I took out the alternator and battery, down to Autozone and tested. Everything checked out.
No problems for months, today I am driving home and on the freeway at about 75mph, the radio is on and turned up, the radio just dies (stock Mach 460). Just up and quits, I hit the button to turn it back on, nothing won't do a thing. So I proceed to change lanes thinking "blown fuse...".
As soon as I change lanes the engine majorly bogs down anytime in boost. I can slowly accelerate with no problem but as soon as I push down further it bogs and cuts out. So I pretty much keep my consistent speed for another 10 - 15 miles about to get onto an off-ramp and the car dies, can't get it to start again, can't clutch start it, it's out. Pull over, try starting it and all I hear is clicking like the battery is dead.
Get it towed to my place and let it sit for a few hours before taking a crack at it. Check all fuses, check for battery light on dash (nothing), and then I check the DTC codes with my SCT, code P1260 - Theft detected.... So I attempt to start the car again, this time it turns over and I leave it running for about 3 minutes, turn it off. Pull out a battery charger and it says the battery is at 75%. Would it have recovered all the way to 75%??
Any ideas for me guys? I was going to say alternator, then with the code, radio cutting off at the same time, and now radio works and battery showing 75% after sitting for a few hours I don't know what to think....
