hey everyone. i have a 90 tsi awd and everytime i drive it, it will just randomly die while im driving and then cut back on a second later, sometimes it doesnt come back on for a few seconds. everytime it dies, the check engine light will come on and my safc will reset like the car was just started. i thought it was my ecu but i swapped them out and it still does it... ive also swapped out the cas, knock sensor, coil pack, and that power transister unit thing by the coil pack and it still does it. i have checked battery connections and they are tight. i have no clue what it could be. it started about a week after my sheet metal intake manifold install so im not sure if it could be relevant. when its not trying to die it runs good so i was thinking it must be a wierd electrical problem. my mods are jmf smim, front mount, safc, and other stuff that probably wouldnt be related. has anyone else had this problem? please help me. thank you
