Make sure it's not losing electrical power due to a bad battery wiring harness. Check the terminal ends, have the battery load tested in case it has an internal short or dead cell, check if battery cables are stretched too tight in event the engine shifts due to a broken engine mount, and that the battery clamp is in place. Making a turn can shift things like the battery or cables around, and if they're not secured, electrical contact can be lost.
My car is doing the same I have a 2005 Ford Focus it starts for about 10 min then dies out ? What should I do?
