Car just shuts down while driving. Sat for two days and then started right back up! Could there be a bad connection some where?

Is this vehicle computer controlled? When the problem is ongoing, if it cranks good but won't start, have a helper crank it while you visually check for spark at the spark plugs. If spark everywhere, check fuel.

If it won't even crank, check the starter wiring circuits. When testing at the starter make sure tranny is in park or neutral and the parking brake is set.
