My cobra is cutting out on acceleration at times .It just started getting cold here(20's-30's). The coolant light will come on for about 10 seconds then go off in the morning. Fluid level is normal and the obd is not throwing the engine light on. what is odd is that it will repeat as if the cats are stopped up but will run fine also and only does this on acceleration. She also cruises down the highway with out a stutter! Her idle is fine also! I thank you for your time my fellow horseman! p.s She has 4.10s -aluminum radiator-bilstein-msd-flowmasters

You may have air in the cooling system. Our cars need to be 'burped' when filling coolant. They will run like a$$ if its not burped.

Fuel filter/pump perhaps? My 95 would do the same under acceleration, but could get enough fuel through the filter to idle and cruise. It worked just fine after switching out the fuel filter- Just an idea to consider-
