Hi. Yes I searched. My 81 280ZX auto will just stall some times, while driving steady, usually at @2500-3000 rpm and when warming up. (Seems fine when up to normal operating temps). Once in a while during acceleration. It always restarts right away. I did: check and clean electrical connections, links, reseated computer. I was watching the volt meter once when it stalled and it did not jump either way. Any ideas folks? Thanks for looking

its most likely your ignition modual.. its the little black box onthe side of yoru distributer... its very common for them to go out.. specially now since the car is over 20 years old...
