As I was driving one day, the car started to shutter like it just wanted to shut off. The ABS light started to blink and the Tach went crazy. It seemed like it was acting like it would if it were out of gas. The car suddenly just shut off. I gave it a few mins and started it right back up, mins later, it did it again. I was wondering if it could be electrical, and yes there was gas in it.

  It sounds like your 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada was affected by a low voltage condition. This could be caused by a faulty battery, corrosion on the battery cable ends at the battery, or a poor electrical connection (power or ground) somewhere in the vehicle. I would recommend you start with the basics, Make sure the battery is good and the connections are CLEAN and tight. If that all checks out OK then continue checking all major electrical connections, making sure all are clean and tight.
