Mine ran a little longer but would die in traffic or after idling a long time. Turned out to be the smaller positive battery cable that runs to the top center of the firewall. The new cable was around $45 bucks from GM and worth every penny.

There's a design flaw in the way it connects to the other cable. I've seen several bonneville's that had this problem. I initially replaced the end on the cable but in the end replacing it resolved my problems. It's been a pretty good car and only has 53k miles. Not bad for a 10 year old, huh?

Is it the top cable with the lead spacer in between? The lead spacer squashes and or corrosion occurs on that end of the cable? Was the copper portion of the cable okay?
