You check the main fuse? The 30a fuse. Check the ignition switch too. Could be a bad connection there

Battery connection can do it since they have to run their power from off the battery even while running. Mine I didn't snug mine down good enough and it did the same thing almost, sputtered and stalled leaving a gas station.

Power generally goes from the battery to the Starter Relay as well as to the 30A fuse (30A on a F3, others may be diffferent). Leaving the fuse, it goes to the Ignition Switch, and then to the Fuse Box. If your main fuse is good, then the Ignition Switch is the next place to look.

Definitely check the ignition assembly. Mine would suddenly die because the killswitch wire was shorting.
