Default Check Engine Light P1351

So, took my car to advanced as my RPM gauge died and the check engine light came on. P1351 was the code but they couldn't tell me what it is. Now the past two days my car just died randomly in the road. Then it would take a second to get it started again. Any idea what would be going on?

The P- is powertrain the second digit 1- is manufacture specific and the third digit 3- is ignition or misfire. The other numbers after P13 go in depth on the type of problem you can't really be certain unless you hook a scanner up to it. Hope that helps

think best thing to do is go to a ford dealer and have them check it out, tell them whats going on, they prolly charge u around 70$ but u will know Exactly what is wrong rather then fixing things aren't the problem and you actually save more money this way.

also btw does SVT make a 3.8L cobra? or is like a roush? or are you going for a cobra clone? I like cobra clones, got some SVT cobra rims recently thinking of getting a SVT trunk badge too.

what i don't like though, is this blue 96 mustang in my town with half the body rusted and no spoiler looking like crap, with BOSS stickers on the side :|

I'm just going for a clone, lol. There never was a 3.8L Cobra. I don't think Roush even ever made one. But the thing is, I just had the damn thing in the shop less than a month ago because of the TPS. I'm honestly not ready to put the damn thing back in for another diagnostic.

Blah, it's pretty much confirmed it is my ignition. Car keeps staling randomly in the road, but will start right back up. This problem made me leave him at home while I came to Mustang Week... Either way, beucase of the fact ICM costs $200, would it be worth me getting something from MSD? Is their Digital 6AL a replacement for it? Let me know, I don't know anything hardly when it comes to ignitions..
