3500 rpm engine sputters but does not die

Acts as though the electrical is breaking connection or it is not getting fuel. The OBD is not connecting. Any ideas?

Here are some other threads to browse. Loose alternator bolts causing no communication with the ECU/PCM and even damaging it is a fairly common issue.
