Motor died and won't start

[drift_raptor]

Ok so here is the situaition. tonight on my way to work i was driving as normal, and I noticed my car was running better than b4, we adjustded my blow off valve this weekend, there was less missfire/studder almost none actually. So i was playing with it a little gunning it and such. Not really going that fast, from 25 up to 40-45 at most, like all 2nd and 3rd gear. so about 200ft b4 my turn in to work i got on it again one last time. after i pushed in the clutch to hit the brakes...my car died. No electrical power nothing engine shit off. so i pushed my car into a parking spot and tried to turn it up again, no luck, after i got out of the car my headlights came back on so electic power is back, but the car will still not start!! It won't even try to crank, so i don't know if the starter cut out or what. Can anyone help me!?!?!

No the starter was not doing anything, but i just went out to check the stuff and the car started fine!! I have no idea what is going on. i guess ill just drive in gently till i can get it in to a shop.

The headlights came back on like you said. When you tried to start it did all the electrical die?

 

[drift_raptor]

no i started it put in gear and drove to a different parking spot and it was fine.

you have a loose or corroded connection somewhere.

check battery and starter first

Ok so i figured out what caused the problem. The strut tower bar was touching the + battery connection. So now the car won't do anything, no starter noise no power in the car at all. So what do i need to do now? change the battery or did this cause a biger problem in the electical system?

Ok so the battery was just dead i hooked it up with jumper cables and let it set for a bit and it runs fune now.
