Dying Car Problem Help!
Someone please let me know if they have had this issue, I did a search and couldn't find anything relating. So if this is already posted then shoot me.
I've had 2 engines put into my car, then I started having this issue. Occasionally, more often now as more time goes on with the new engine in the car, but at full operating temperature I was pulling out of 7-11 and put the car in nuetral, coming to a rolling stop the car died (stalled out). All of the lights in the gauges reset and were flashing and my navigation system rebooted all on it's own.
Then it happend again a few days later. Now when I have the A/C on it seems as though the A/C is pausing making a rough idle sound, but with no rough idle showing on the tach. Then while driving all of the lights in the gauges went out again and the nav. reset and came back on all on their own, but this time the car didn't stall out and die, it was running the whole time. Any ideas on what this could be?
I'm going into the dealer Friday and spoke to the tech over the phone, but he couldn't imagine what the issue could be. I just don't want to get bullshitted around by service when I go in. Thanks for any input.

Yeah that's what I thought, but with the new motor they gave me less than 1 month ago, they also gave me a brand new starter & battery because the old one was shitting out.
No one has had this issue?

Have you added any extras to your car ?

I had some extras before the engine swap but nothing after, and no extras ever having to do with the ECU. I did have to move the ECU to change out a couple of parking light bulbs last week though, maybe I did something wrong? How would I be able to check if I did?
