You check all your ground points?? Battery ground, alternator, engine block to firewall ground....

How bout the ECU? You put it into Diagnostic Mode to see if it's kicking a code?

If your car cuts completely out like you say it does, then you have either a cut power wire OR a bad ground. You might have to break out the multimeter / voltmeter / continuity tester to check all the power & ground lines.

Download a Factory Service Manual here from Zilvia. Use the SEARCH function to find it. Use the electrical circuit map in the manual to trace all the lines / pins. Troubleshooting electrical problems are a royal bitch....

Good luck

PS: Just out of curiosity, is your car lowered or have big tires?? If it is lowered or have big tires, you may have shorted out your wires in the front driver fender liner....that can cause your car to cut out on you.
