I was driving home from work and when i went around a corner at a decent speed the car just shut off, all of the electronics are weird. whenever i turn on the either turn signal all the instruments on the speedo light up. No other electronics work, the headlights, door light. I'm really confused. I dont know if it would help but it was raining.

sounds like something got wet and shorted. Start checking fuses too. First thing I suggest with the no start would be check the fuel pump fuse and the relay. Put 12v. to the output on the relay and if the pump runs, you're on your way to the problem. It could be as simple as the ignition module getting wet too. Pull the cap off the distributor and dry everything out well overnight if you have to and try then.

 

I had a problem like that before. I sprayed some wire drier or WD-40 on all the wire coming and going from the coil. Problem solved.

 

Yup, ive had moisture get into my dizzy cap (Cracked somehow). WD-40 allowed me to get home....then i replaced it. All better

 

I had a problem with my lights and gauges going dead on me before. I ran myself ragged trying to figure it out. When I would go over bumps, my lights would flicker too. I found that it was a ground strap that was loose. Mine was the one going from the firewall to the back of the pass head. No S**t.
