Car shutting off.. again...
ok heres the car facts.. pretty much stock 92 L98 with AFPR, headers and full exhaust. thats about it.
symptoms - whenever the car is cool (doesnt happenw hen its warmed up) and i pull onto the highway and get on it a little bit (between 3/4 and full throttle) the car actually starts to intermittently shut off. all guages die for a split second and everything catches back up and then dies again, fine again, dies again...
anyways.. any ideas on what it could be?

not sure about your problem, but do you like your bbk afpr. I just bought one, but havent installed it. Did you have enough room under the plenum. Does it work good. What psi did you set it at?

i started it up this morning and got on it as quick as i could just to see if it would do it, no problems. keep the suggestions coming though cuz it could show up at any time....
Go through your grounds with a dfine toothed Comb.
I lost a fusbile link and i lost every non-essential electrical peice of EQ on the car, including all the lights.
I think the only thing still working was the ignition.
