Lost Electrical (Page 1/1)

Hello, I have a 1988 2.8 GT 5speed I drove it about 10 miles then parked it. About 10 minutes later I went to start it and it did like half a crank and died. I had no electrical to nowhere the only thing I could do was hit the rear decklid release and it would open. About 15 minutes later the car had electrical again and it started up but cranked very slowly. I had the battery checked and it had a full charge, Any Ideas. Thanks

check, if not new replace, battery cables. If replace, w/ ACdelco cables Not crap aftermarket w/ lead ends.
Check all grounds in engine bay.
check + "box" under C500.

The C500 connector is directly towards the back of the car beyond the battery. Two out of the three Fieros I've had developed issues there. I usually would leave the passenger door open and jiggle the cables near the C500 connector while looking through the back window of the car (if the dome lights turn on, that's where your problem is).
