OK lets take this a little slower.
You see a spark from under the alternator. Can you tell if it is the grount harness or the ignition wires? Either way it is not good and must be fixed. This could be as simple as tightening a bolt. If it is the wires get new ones.
When you lose power driving what else happens? Do you lose all electrical, or just lose power from the engine?
Does this do this all the time or maybe only when you are at 1/4 of a tank or lower? My friend had a Malibu that would just up and die on her for no reason, no codes, and GM had the car in the shop 5 times trying to fix it with no luck. I asked her a few questions about the when and what happens and she described just about the same symptoms as you do. Car dies and will not start up for about 10-15 minutes, but cranks just fine in the mean time. Her problem was a failing but not totally failed Fuel pump. Her car would only die at 1/4 tank or so. This is because the fuel pump is cooled by the fuel. Running the car low on fuel all the time will shorten the life of the pump. When I ran her pump out of the tank it screemed like a banshee, meaning the bearings were shot.
Feel free to contact me if you need some help with this. PMs work great I am online off and on most of the day.
