I have a 1989 Mazda B 2200 pickup w/ manual transmission. It has always ran great, however, about 3 weeks ago it started "shutting down". The engine cuts off and all electrical including radio, AC blower, etc. is lost. ( it acts as if you cut the ignition key off ) It will crank immediately back, runs a little rough for a few seconds, then runs fine until the next "shut down"''. This has occurred 3 times in the last 3 weeks. I have checked all battery connections and the alternator checks good. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. thanks

autozone does free diagnostics try there first before the dealer.
