However, I was able to turn it right back on and drive a few miles home. Any ideas or anyone else have this happen??
I also have a 1997 V6 3.0. Sounds to me like you have a power problem. The alternator may be broken or in the process of being broken. When I had a similar event, I ended up changing my alternator some weeks after. It eventually died on the road.
