Car stalling while driving
I've had the ve swap in for about 8,000 miles. A few months back it had some hiccups while driving. Under normal driving, the car would not respond all of a sudden. When pressing the throttle it wouldnt respond ( kind of like when the maf isnt reading airflow due to it being loose or fallen off. After a full tune up, the car started to act up again. The first time today , I was driving and it did the same as noted above but the engine continued to stay on. The second time a few minutes later cut out and i downshifted to see if the motor would start itself again and to no avail. During this time the wideband was reading all the way lean. So I pull over, wait 10 seconds , and the car starts fine. Any help would be appreciated. Should I try changing distributors? I'm using one that I bought from Andreas that hooked up to the se-l harness with no modifcation.

Edit: It's almost like the car goes into safety limpmode and fires up after being reset by the key.

Bump! What is more likely? The internal coil going bad or bad maf? As i said before. If i wait about 10 seconds before trying to crank after it has cut off it starts up fine. Possibly the Maf overheating and cutting out?
