here's something wierd that is starting to get to me about my carbed 83 GL FWD 5spd. everytime i go down hill at a decent but not excessive speed n hit a bump in the road the car will stall just like that, but it starts right back up. i'm not overly worried about it, but it is getting annoying as i deliver newspapers at nite in the moutains and i'd like to have my power brakes atleast. what kind of issue or issues could it be?

just an idea but check your battery cables. my wife's 92 pathfinder would stall around right hand coners only till i figured that the un tied down battery would move and the ecu would lose power...start simple

well did check that an all is well its still doing it, now its doing it on a damn near regular basis on heavy enough bumps.

Besides the engine dying, what other electrical systems show a sign of trouble?

 

Lights flickering, charge gauge dropping, heater blower cutting out?

 

Just looking for more info...

well it has a new alternator on it and it usually shows 12v unless i have the blower going but not often i do so really no other problems that i know of off hand.
