[V8] Un-explained cutting out

[Tony and Lillie]

Allan, I'd start by pulling codes. It is convered on SJM's website. Coule be 
those, or could be an ignition system issue, or perhaps a fuel pump 
relay/trigger problem, or...............

See, pull codes first and save yourself some time. Let us know what you 
find, and we can assist from there.
