Default Car cutting out while driving

Lately when I have been driving (it happens very sporadically not consistent at all). My car will shut off for a split second. It seems like only the electronics...gaugaes reset, radio turns off etc... and the engine doesn't seem to cut out but i don't know if it is just because it happens so quickly. It happened about nine times to me on the way to work in about a 30 minute period. It was weird cause only once did it actually bog down to where I had to actually restart the car.

It seems to happen more when I hit a dip or speed bump also...
Could it be a recent problem because of a manifold i replaced or 4.10s I put in?
Or you think a loose electrical component?

It now won't start half the time. I'm pretty sure it has always thrown these codes, but would they cause a problem like this?

P0443
P1451
P0135
P0155

They are EVAP solenoid failures and o2 sensor heating faults

Have you checked your connections like the battery posts and etc? I doubt it has to do with the rear end gear.

Yeah everything seems to be in order. I did install a JLT intake and my IAT sensor is a little wobbly in its setting. Do you think that could be it? Even though I haven't had an problems with it in the past.

it shouldnt have anything to do with that it probably is bad connection, wiring, or a fuse. i bet it is something with a bad connection and when you hit a bump its lose so it cuts in and out

Now the car won't start 75% of the time. It turns over but will not crank up, then other times will.

The theft light will blink rapidly, then slowly, then turn off when the car actually starts.

People say it could possibly be new keys I need or the PATS system. I'm going to use my tuner and see what codes it is throwing.
