97 Deville..... Help!!!

The car drives fine for about 5-10 minutes. Then, it all of a sudden shuts down! All of the lights on the dash light up like a Christmas tree! After it sits a while, it starts back up, may need a jump. Then repeats itself again. Any help provided is greatly appreciated!

Check all battery cable connections. How old is the battery?

After that, post results and we can go from there.

Check for carbon build-up in the throttle body or the crank position sensors.

sounds like you are seeing a power down.

get it to a shop and check charging system, battery test UNDER LOAD.
I happen to like Sears for that ..

if all that is good, disconnect battery, reboot all systems and report back.
