    If this seems as if it just quits, like the engine completely shuts
off for a split second, I think I have your cure.  I found this looking
through the PO reciepts.  It seems after he replaced the engine with a
factory rebuild he had the problem, which has seem to come back.
     After the shop tried several things, O2 sensor, spark plugs,
wires, AFM etc . ., they finaly found the problem.  After three 130
miles test drives the shop finally figured it out.  They found
corrosion on "ground wire in harness for shielded wire for OXS-repaired
gourndwire and road tested, no problem experienced!  Repaired corroded
connectors in junction box for coolant gauge and rear lights.  No
problems experienced!"
    Hopefully that will save you A LOT of pain and anguish, and some
money at the same time.  But you might have a different problem :(

have fun,
