I have a 1993 Buick LeSabre. While driving on the highway, it completely shut down without any warning. What the problem? I have a Die Hard battery.

Do all electrical components shut down too? Or is it just the engine that quits?

Check to make sure battery terminals are clean and tight. Check the main ground to the engine.
