Car shuts off and on by it's self
Car shuts off and on by it's self 1999 trans am I was ou last night and lined up to race from a dig an all is well untill I punch it off the line. Car sputters electronics go crazy. The trip meter reset. And then it all is good it just keeps going. Why?
Then a buddy is following me on the hwy and tells me my tail lights are flickering on and off. And now my blinker light inside the car stays on and the blinker doesn't work.
Had the PCM off a couple days ago. Found the red "pin guide" was broken in there so I pulled it all out and reinstalled the PCM. I also did the fan switch mod so I cut Into some factory wiring (only the ones I needed to cut).
Only other problem is a pretty good sized power steering fluid leak but can't see that being the culprit.
What the hell is wrong with my car?

The previous owner of my 99 Z28 said the car was doing something similar so he soldered a loose connection in the fuse block under the hood. He said it was a "common problem" and that he found the fix info on one of the forums. He was only on here and camaroforums.com for whatever that's worth.
