FL 1990 rx7 Convertible issues

Hi y'all, my car shut down while driving, when I tried to re-start it did nothing, no indication of lights meters anything. I got a jump and it started, let it sit on for 20-30 mins, sat in it to turn it around in case it needed a jump later would be easier to get to, was still running and all I did was shut the drivers door and it shut off! Baffled here, sounds like a ground wire?? anyone have a diagram for this ground wiring or which one I should check first, thanks in advance for any help.

There is a big battery ground from the negative of the battery to the frame rail where the shock tower meets the frame.

Also check your battery terminals.

Check battery voltage.

Is your alternator charging?

terminals, battery and alternator are good, trying to locate the ground your describing without luck so far, thank you for responding, I can walk to work so first day I'm trying to figure it out again. Would be nice to locate a diagram somewhere.
