How odd - I just experienced this very same thing, last week. Mine cost me a trip on the flat bed. I had a nice person come by and jumped me while I was out on the highway. I left it running for a few min. with the booster cables attached between the vehicles and immediately headed back to home. On the way back it dies again. Fortunately I wasn't extremely far from homeso the tow didn't cost to much. After parking it for the week, I decided to do a little reading and basic troubleshooting and have decided to change the alternator and did a quick check on the battery as well as the battery terminals. One of the terminals was very loose (cable connection only - not on the battery post.) Before heading down this route I traded out the ignition coil for one that was a bit newer however off of a different z project. Still same - dying, so have decided to go for the alternator. I replaced the alternator and battery but in the process also decided to make sure that the previous electrical work that I've performed is also correct. Like the aftermarket radio and amp that I had installed a few months back. Something to keep in mind, if you have added something new to an older vehicle, things such as a weak (older) alternator and or a battery that doesn't charge quickly have a hard time keeping up. Good Luck!
