Question Random Motor Turn Offs

I seem to be having a little problem. Here is what happens. Just recently, I was driving down the street from my house doing about 40mph. All of a sudden the motor shuts off. I am able to turn it on while I am in motion. Just a couple days ago I went out one morning to try and warm it up. As soon as it warmed up for about 5 mins it would shut off again. I would still be able to start it up again. This morning I warm it up again so I can run errands for the day. moments later it shuts off again. This time I am not able to start it up again. All of the electrical works. The motor cranks normally. I suspect one thing but I just wanted to run this by the forums just to make sure.

What could be the problem?

Check your grounding and battery terminals.

Grounding is alright. It turned out to be my loose short cut coil wires. Time for a new plug.
