Engine dies while running in traffic, HELP PLEASE!!

Start with the battery - with the two battery terminal connectors. Before you replace the connectors, ensure the battery cables themselves are good. Look for corrosion that has crept down into the wire-sheath. If the top-portion of the cables are in good condition, next check the condition of the cables at the starter.

Once you've verified the condition of the cables, I would also pull the alternator and have it counter-tested while picking-up what parts you need. After changing the cables or terminal connector and getting it all back together, get the charging system tested [again]. Drive the car around and check whether the battery light returns, and for rpm-related changes in the interior lighting level and fuel pump noise. Then pull the codes and post back.

Battery cables look fine and it seems like the bare wires from the cables is having no effect on the overall performance of the car(i.e starting, running, etc.). So in line is a new cps from autozone and an alternator. A new water pump might be in order also if it is leaking.
