Ok pretty much everything that could be wrong with my car right now. A couple days ago my car started to get worse and worse, and as of right now its pretty much undrivable.

Symptoms:

-I have zero power and my car just goes puttt puttt putt down the street
-My idle is at about 2500rpms
-My engine lights are randomly coming on and off, Radiator light, CEL, Battery, Anti-Lock Brakes, Oil, Hand Brake Light.
-I have little to no power to all my applianced, windshield wipers move extremely slow, same with my automatic seat belts, my ac barely works at full blast, my headlights dont work, my blinkers blink quick and make a fast blinking noise for some reason.

-Like i said before my car has ZERO POWER, it will just idle at 2500rpms and when i try and go in first gear, when i press the gas it just bogs like hell and i barely can accelterate without stalling, and almost 100% of the time my car feels like its stalling it keeps just shutting off and turning back on its the wierdest thing i've ever seen.

I'm trying to think of something else that could be responsible for all of this happening, but i just cant come up with a solution. I havent done any mods that would make this just start up all of a sudden and like i said before it just started working like this i didnt do anything to make it act like this.

When it stops raining outside i'll pull my ecu and check for leaky capacitors, but if there is anything else u guys would like to tell me that would help me out i would really appreciate it cause if its not the leaky capacitors frying my ecu then i am completely drawing a blank.

Check your battery and cables first. Make sure the alternator is charging.
