I'm starting to have problems losing power. It's happened to my car while I'm operating it, but only at low speeds. I've had no trouble re-starting it, however.

I've also had trouble starting it at first (from a cold start), but later it does start.

I tried to start it this evening, and the dash lights and dome lights would not come on. I came back five minutes later and it started right up.

I suspect alternator, battery or maybe even a loose connection somewhere.

Thanks in advance for the help.
