I bought the car in 03 from carmax. I haven't changed the battery or alternator and considering the car only had 16k on it when I bought it (75k now), carmax probably hasn't either.

Battery voltage after a minute with the lights on was 12.25V. Battery with the engine running was 14.10V. I was thinking I could probably try checking the voltage through the cigarette lighter while I was WOT to see what happens.

Do you think thats the only reason for the shutdowns though?
