Car died. Need assistance

So I'm driving to work. As I came off the highway, my A/F gauge kept reseting. I was like WTF? Car running fine. I then pull into my work garage and the A/F gauge (Innovate) gave a code 3__9. Also my deck kept shutting on and off and the car was struggling (had to keep gasing it), auto lights turned on but were very very dim. As I pulled into my parking spot, the car completely dies.

Can anyone help trouble shoot? Possible starter failure? Drive belt issue (as I also have a remote control car sounding noise from the right side when sitting in the car).

Man when it rains it pours! I'm about to close on a house and can't afford this crap right now. I just had to replace a driveshaft and re-do my brakes.

Reason I'm posting here is because the car is modded and wondering also if tuning may affect or cause this. Also I have an 02 code. When things went funny, the ABS, TCS and airbag light came on. No battery light. I went to start the car back a minute ago and it seemed fine however the A/F gauge is still reading 3__9

Issue solved, was an altenator. The WB code was actully E9 which mean's low voltage so not enough power.

The same thing happened to me about 5 months ago. At least you got home. I just barely made it into a Honda dealership and had to get it towed. The first time my alty died, I got a warning through the brake and battery light but the second time there was no warning except stuff like my deck and WB turning on and off in the last moments.

Yep, can't wait to get a HO alternator on the new motor. Happened to me a couple weeks ago. Still driving on it though.....

On the contrary lol. I left work early to try and get it to my mechanic. But didn't get too far so got it towed to a shop near Downtown Toronto. They diagnosed it. They are charging the battery overnight and I will drive it to my mechanic and save $200. It's about a 35-40km drive so full battery/dead altenator should get me there. Hopefully

Damn that sucks. But you should be fine for the 40km drive. I drove for 3 days from Toronto to Mississauga and back just on just the battery. Gotta love the Red Tops.
