is there something wrong???
As i tried starting my car today everything seemed normal. The starter turned, i backed the car out of my garage and let it sit there for a couple minutes. Then I put the car in gear and as i began to pull away my radio kept turning on and off. As i sped up to around 10 mph the car started doing some like hesitating movements. The check engine light was clicking on and off, and so was the abs light. I pulled to the side to let the car idle for a couple minutes and the car had no problem maintaining idle. I tried it again and the same thing happened so what i did was turn around and i ended up parking the car. After i got home from school i tried starting the car again, started no problem. I then put it in gear and the car ran fine. Im wondering if there is an electrical problem somewhere alternator or battery related. Has anyone experienced this problem before?

If it happened while you were moving, then it could be live wire rubbing up against something grounded and short circuiting the electrical system. Pop the hood and check all of the immediate connections to the alternator and battery.

Yup, I agree with jonski. I had sort of a similar problem with my stereo turning on and off when I hit the brakes. I think it was a loose wiring harness(HKS Twin Power). I can't be sure, but ever since I zipped tied them together, the problem is gone.
Check ALL your connections.
