This started about 6 months ago. While driving the gages will cut out when accelerating then come back when I let off. Then the car started dying suddenly for no reason. When it dies it will not restart for an extended period. I found a burned spot on gage board so replaced gage pod. I still have all gages shutting down and car stalling with car totally dead and no restart
for extended period. If I let it sit over nite it will restart.
Checked wiring but did not find any bad connections or shorts. Any ideas.
