Seems like electrical problem i would start with your battery/connections and check you engine ground.

I had a problem like this in my old mustang, have you added an aftermarket radio or anything electrical lately? I had to replace my entire wire harness as there was a short in it somewhere triggering the PATS (WHILE I WAS DRIVING LOL)

Check the easy stuff first: battery cables, alternator, grounds, fuses.
