Thank you. The battery was not properly secured as it should have been. I think what happened was that I hit a bump in the road which caused the positive connector to hit the side of the engine bay and short out. The fuses seemed to be in order. The positive lead was a bit charred, but it didn't look so bad that it shouldn't conduct electricity.

When I turned it on the following day, the 'check engine' light was still on. I left it running long enough to charge the battery, and then checked to confirm that the battery was at full charge (it was). I disconnected the battery for a few minutes, cleaned the battery acid off of the negative battery terminal, and when I re-connected it and turned it back on, the check engine light was gone.

I drove it for a day or so with no problems, but then the 'check engine' light came back on and started to flicker. As I drove further, the radio started cutting out with the flickers, and then the engine started lurching.

I think that there's a bad connection somewhere on one of the battery cables. I visually examined them, and they all look fine except for the char marks on the positive connector. I'm going to clean the battery acid off of the positive terminal, try to cut a little bit off of the wire, replace the lug itself, and wrap it in electrical tape for insulation.
