Emergency Help & opinions needed!!
Just had an odd occurence in my 94LS. Seems to be intermittent & electrical in nature.
My vehicle temporarily lost all electrical power while driving!
The engine died. Sometimes it would temporarily re-start & not idle others times nothing.
Hazard lights would not even flash for a time.
Was getting ready to call AAA , when I re-started & made a trouble free , no symptoms drive home.
What is going on here??
I need help!! damon

Best Guess?
From searching here is:
I have the dreaded PS fluid leak onto the alternator.
If these are the initial signs of this, how much damage have I done to my alternator?

The service tech I just called said the battery light will come on but it may not depending on the circumstance. I dunno if this is the same for the LS, on my other Toyota, when the alternator failed, I got a brake, check eng and battery warning lights. The battery will power the car for a short time before it drains.
Get it in...you don't want to be stranded!
