    Car will cut off periodically

    It seems to always run for a while and cut off. It seems to only act like this after it rains. Thats what i think. Well i will let the car warm up for at least 10 min but it still does it sometime.. I'll pull up to a light and it sometimes cuts off.. I was driving yesterday I just slowed down a lil bit before i got to a stop sign and bam it cut off. It always starts right back up then it ran fine the rest of the nite no more cut offs. Does that sound like water in the gas? I also tried a water remover. I did have my fuel pump replaced and I was thinking maybe water is gettin in the fuel tank just a thought. Just about everything dealing with fuel is new. All of the following fuel filter, fuel pump, fuel pressue regulator, O2 sensor, air temp sensor, TPS is not brand new but not real old anyone think its this, i drilled it out to get it to read .98 volts..New pick up coil, TFI is also new. Sorry for the long post but i wanted to give as much info as possible. Remember I have a CFI.

    Sounds like electrical. Something getting wet and acting up. How old are the plug wires? Also, do you have the rubber boot on the distributor?

      Plugs are new like 3 months old and the rubber boot is also on the distributor..I have had this problem for a while now. I think what i did a year back or so was turn up the idle.. But then my vacumm system was not even connected right nor was the timing

        My 90 started doing that shit. Then it got worse. Random stalling and restarting by ITSELF. Then It went haywire one day and did like 5 times a second. I damn near shot the car then and there. Turned out to be a bad wiring harness. So i beat it, stripped it and junked it.

              It wasnt the tps. I swapped everything but the injectors wiring harness and fuel pump. Good luck fixing it.
