Hey Guys....here's one I've never seen before...any help would really be appreciated. My 1990 GT just started cutting off whille I'm driving. It's as though I turned the key off..all power to the car is gone (radio, gauges and engine power) then it magically turns itself back on after a second or two with NO It's not like a coli where you have to wait for it to cool or an ignition switch that you have to turn a few times. I literally do nothing and it turns back on again. Any idea of where to start would be awesome!

loose power cable or bad ground... probably need new terminals on the battery.

That was my first thought too. New battery and cables 6 months ago. Ohmed out both the frame and block ground and both are good...thanks for the quick response, I will try checking the terminals..thanks for the idea

Terminals are fine...not loose and double checked the alternator voltage while I was there...that's good too...any other ideas would be welcome

Check the distributor rotor for any play.

wouldn't affect the radio...

My bad, didn't see that. LOL I know mine did some really evil **** one minute then was fine the next when my dizzy was wobbly, but that wouldn't mess with the radio.
