Default PLEASE HELP! Electrical problem???

This has happened a couple times:

I'm driving down the road and my motor just shuts off. Lights stay on, but foglights and windows stop working. Car won't start right away. I have to let it sit for a few mintues before it will start again.

I'm supposed to be driving out to Laguna Hills tonight... Someone please lend your expertise

Thank you

What does it do when you try to start it?

it turns over but doesn't start. if i wait about 5-10 minutes then it'll start right up and then shut off a few miles down the road.

Sounds like it might be your main relay. Does your fuel pump prime?
