[V8] Engine dying

[kyle leatherwood]

I had the exact same thing happen to me the last time we had heavy snow here.  What happened was the connector to the TPS got moisture in it.  Once I cleaned it with electrical contact cleaner, blew it out with an air gun, and packed it full of dialectric grease the problem went away.
