So I'm leaving for work this morning, get in, turn key, doesn't start, doesn't crank, just hear a click. Turn key off and try again, same thing. I play around with it and finally it starts but some of the dash lights stay on such as the A/T, oil, and one other don't remember. Take a left out of my drive and starts to die, lights go dim and I'm coasting to a stop when I hear the starter crank, it starts, no dash lights on and I drive to work without issues. Weird thing is I wasn't turning the key.
Had a very similar couple of instances 3 months ago where it didn't want to start and when it did it wanted to die, fine when on the gas but when I stopped at a stop light it died. Flat bedded to a shop and they could not duplicate the problem. Shop kept it for a week and couldn't duplicate, alternator checked out but brushes were badly worn so got them replaced. Fine until now. 95 with 192,XXX miles and I'm sure lots of stuff that has never been replaced, have owned it for 3 years. Help!!!! This is my only road worthy vehicle.
