Thank you for any comments or feedback - But heres the problem

When I do 70MPH on the fwy for 15minutes or more the car will SHUT OFF literally the lights will go out, the gas peddle will stop working everything electrical besides the radio will go out. So after I pull over and wait 10-15 minutes the car will come right back on.. like nothing happen.....
Any clue whats wrong?
My Check Engine Light isnt ON
It Rides Smooth On residental streets doin 40 MPH
but when it comes to the fwy the car will literally stall out..

does it have a volt gauge or dummy light. if it has a dummy light purchase a volt reader that plugs into cigarette plug-in, watch for high voltage output above 14 volts. typically for everything to shut down a fusable link gives that comes off the silinoid and goes to the electrical system(small wire) but don't usually repair themselves. was this a flood recovery vehicle. could have corrosion in the computer causing relays to heat up and shut down until cool. only other thing I can think of is corrosion on battery terminals or alternator problem.
