[V8] Bogging Down/Restart

[Tony and Lillie]

The engine does not use the multifunction switch in any way other than the 
nuetral safety switch starting lockout.

It sounds to me like you may have a bad connection somewhere or a dying fuel 
pump. Or, might be a bad MAF as well. Time to start the troubleshooting 
procedure :(
