So when I hit larger bumps and dips in the road or drive through corners with speed my car will cut out and recover again.

It seems like an ignition thing because the RPM will drop to zero then recover. It'll happen quick when it's a bump or dip but if it's a long corner that I'm pushing through it will cut out and come back sveral times...

Can someone explain where the inertia switch is in the trunk so I can start with the easy fix?

thanks

On the drivers side in the trunk, remove the trim that covers the tailight bulbs, there is a little black box with a yellow button on it close to the quarter panel, thats the inertia switch, push it, it might be a bad fuel pump fuse or relay, or maybe even your fuel pump, there is another thread from today with your same exact problem.

yeah i saw that thread but didn't want to hijack

I've been through a stock FP & 2 Walbro's in 3 years so it could certainly be the issue again but it's never acted like this before so I'm praying it's an easy fix!

Like you said ... its really quick.

I'd be looking at all the connectors they disturbed when doing the upgrade.

Sounds like one is not making good connection

Cutting-out over bumps and tach going to zero, sounds to me like it could be a ground-related issue. Check all the engine grounds and battery/power distribution connections and make sure they are clean and not falling apart. A bad engine ground can cause some funky issues.

fwiw my car was doing the exact same thing as yours. As others mentioned, it was - battery cable terminal that was slightly loose. Good luck
