Loses all power on hard accel
TPI car. Headlights and everything shutoff. Power comes back on and engine picks up where it left off after half a second. It only does it after the engine warms up.. been fighting this demon for a while and I'm about to give up on it. Engine operates perfectly other than hard accel but whats the fun in that. So far I've added a couple grounds. pulled and cleaned all the existing grounds I can find. Brand new battery. Newer but stock amp alternator (its a built 383) new distributor, new ignition coil, new ignition control module, new map sensor. It has to be something electrical right??? Please help

Re: Loses all power on hard accel
Sounds like the battery is shifting and the negative cable is straining.
