kinda odd. here are the symptoms...

110 nas v8


engine dies. no rumblin' bumblin' or stumblin'.
sometimes, the rpm at idle drops to 250-400 and its powerless, but running. like a bank of cylinders is out. i was on the highway when that happened, and i cut the ignition and it restarted while drifting. but mostly i have to wait 2-3 minutes and it will restart.

check engine light comes on, but there are not any error codes... mostly. twice i got a code 03... there isnt an 03.

it did this about 4 months ago then stopped. i just changed the cap and wires and it did it 5 times.



bit of a bitch changing gears going around a bend in traffic and you lose the power steering and you almost get reared.

Did you check or clean the IAC valve? The maual says the IAC valve can cause low idle, high speed idle, stalling and not start.
