Poor connection at battery, or alt. Once I found corrosion where the regulator screws on to the alt. Had a cracked pos clamp (the thin kind), and I found it after the 3rd alt.

You need one of those LED volt meters that plug into the lighter socket.

I think you'll see your problem then.

The stock system will not show any distress signs until well below normal voltage. If you turn off all the accessories including lights and HVAC, the car will run with voltage down onto the 9's. :eek-large:

Alt tested good, cleaned posts and have the same issue. Car died once while at a stop and self started itself

Must be a ghost. Never heard of a car starting itself. You've done a lot of work to your car, if the bat/alt system checks out, I'd go back to where you did any electrical work.
