Default 94 850 turbo auto stalling itermittently

This info is from my wife so it's not super detailed but here we go. It's stalled on her 3 times in the last 3 weeks. Once at 70km/hr and the other two times were as she was going from a stoplight. She says the car just goes dead as in the power and everything turns off. The first two times it started right after. the last time the starter didn't turn very fast. and it didn't want to start. then teh car was pushed over to the side of the road and it fired right back up.... Any ideas? Almost sounds ignition related? Anyone ever dealt with this before. She says it doesn't seem like it's running out of gas as she's done that before. It just cuts out.

thanks in advance for the help

wtf no ideas at all guys? I really need some ideas. Im not blindly throwing parts at this thing. I'll sell it before I do that. There are a bunch of other things that need attending to but the stalling is the priority

It could be a bad ground wire going from either the battery or the starter. Check all the main ground wires first and if they are beat, replace them. If all the wires look good, then next thing I would consider would be the electrical side of the ignition switch. If that is going bad, it could be turning and shutting the car off.
