Default Need help. Power loss drive down the street

I was cruising in to work this morning when I hit a bump on the highway and I lost all throttle response. The engine didn't die, and as I was pulling off to the side I hit another bump and I had power again. I drove it home popped the hood to check all connections, but can't find anything loose.

I did not loose any electrical, oil pressure was good, it just wouldn't get any gas.

Any thoughts?

What is the state of the DME relay? That is the usual suspect. If it has not been replaced with the updated part number I would start there.

DME/fuel pump relay would be the first thing to check.

Replace with a new unit. URO is junk. Stay with OEM Stribel

Clarks mentions that age may cause the relays to overheat and fail at times.
