ok...hopefully some of you might have come across this but most likely not since i've had no luck finding anyone with this issue. i am running a rb25 s14 with a power fc for control. the eccs wiring was checked and setup correctly from the start. been running the pfc for over 2 years now (don't drive the car a ton) anyway...sometimes while cruising at a steady normal rpm....say 50 mph around 2200 just out of the blue the car will practically shut off for a split second. check engine light comes on then just as fast as it happened everything is back to normal and i'm cruising again. triple checked wiring and all looks good. it has started to happen more and more often and i'd like to find the issue before i'm stranded somewhere. the other day i went to start the car and a relay started clicking REALLY FAST and the check engine light was flashing in sync with the clicking. turned key off then tried to start again and all was normal. then the car did the shut down while cruising thing again but the clicking happened this time and the flashing light. then all back to normal. it's getting annoying. i'm beginning to think maybe a relay is going bad....

any help is appreciated.

i don't see how it could be the TT since it doesn't bypass the ignition. just ties into it. i'll double check though. what kind of timer did you have? i have a blitz
