engine cutting out - at the end of my rope (long)

I had similar cut out that occured only with hard driving on boost .searched forever checking usual culprits then finally found some slightly torn boots on my essentially new magnecors. They were made of pretty soft rubber easily torn while pulling off the plugs. Speculation was that during the extra load on boost the coil ouput would short to the block causing real abrupt cut in power. may be worth checking on your older wires. Could also try looking for spark under the hood at night. Put on Berus no problem since HTH
Thanks for the tip. I checked my boots when reassembling Saturday and they looked fine. However, if the problem persists I'll get a new set as these are getting a little old anyway.

When the wiring harness was in I did sacrifice a couple beers. Hope that didn't kill the bad karma. It was German beer so I should be OK.

Issue finally resolved
As I updated in my original post, looks like the problem was somewhere in the wiring harness. Car has run fine on several trips with no cutout.
I'm so glad it's fixed as I was dreading a long winter in the cold garage continuing to scratch my head....
