Randonly my motor will jus kill out on me. During acceleration, cruising whatever. It's like as if someone is reaching over and turning my 240 off. This happened before and i put a new ignition wire, plug points and wires and it was fine for like 3 weeks and now its doing this again . A mechanic suggested my engine computer might be going bad but im not gonna drop that kind of money if it isn't that. Any suggestions? THX Guys.

Definatly not the o2 sensor. It could be your fuel pump or anything invilved with your fuel pump (fuse, wires, actual pump) Check the wires on the actual pump in your trunk, ive heard many stories of them being loose, broken or rusted out.
