Car Shuts Off Randomly
So a few months ago (after the x-charger install) I was having problems with my car shutting off while driving. I replaced the battery and alternator. Yesterday I was driving and the car started losing power like it was out of gas (had a half tank). Got the check engine light and my wideband read lean like 20-22. So I waited a minute, restarted, it read rich 10-12. Ten seconds later the car was fine. Now today the car shut off in a drive thru and took a few minutes to start. I don't know if it's a fuel problem (fuel pump) or an electrical problem.

Two things mustangs of new and old are famous for aside from major awesome-sauce:
Rust and electrical issues.
Both issues have held for every generation.

The car has an e-mail tune from Doug that tons of people are running, and everything read fine when it was on the dyno.
I checked the ground wires and they were fine, but I'm sure there's some electrical issue going on somewhere.
