    Default Engine looses power temporarily

    Motor is a 4agze turbo running Adaptronic ECU.

    While driving, car looses power, then the tacho flickers up to 3-4000rpm, and just before it stalls engine power comes back and all is well.

    Has been happening for the past week.

    Sometimes power is lost for less than half a second, and only recently I lost power for nearly 3 seconds.
    Its weird that the tacho flickers to 4000rpm when clearly it is dieing.

    Any ideas?

    Yea ill go check around.
    At first I thought it might be the fuel pump but that wouldnt cause the tacho to flicker.
    Could be the ignitors?

    Ill give a good looking over with the grounds.

    And the engine is a AE92 Map 4agze.
