Default HELP ! Engine is cutting out .

Has anyone had the same problem and where should I look ? Let me start out with what its doing ; I drive along and the engine cuts out under hard acceleration and also at idle . Also all the dash lights come on and the alarm sounds , I try to clear it and nothing happens unless I turn the key off and right back on then its normal again . Sometimes both conditions happen together and then they also happen seperatly on their own in different sequence . Ok so now what I've checked ; I replaced the DME relay , checked all the grounds , checked all the sensor connections , checked all the vacuum connections . Has anyone had the same issue and what am I missing ? It feels electrical but any ideas are very welcome . Please Help !

Do a search under "Christmas Tree light effect" that should give you some ideas to work with. In some cases it is the solder joints on the back of the clock that needs to be resoldered.

My 993 Turbo cut out on Hard Acceleration as well. Never could pin point it. Is everything stock? I always thought it was the ECU or maybe a hose loose. As it did have an aftermarket ECU
