I assume you mean it loses electrical power . Or do you mean the engine lacks power ? Look for corrosion at elec. disconnects or loose wires behind the dash ie. amp meter . Replacing parts nilly willy is not the best way to go about it .

If it is going dead electrically then look for corrosion inside the main power wires and connections, it only takes one spot of black corrosion to reek havoc with the electrical..
