Got a good one here guys. After 5 rounds of hard work at the dragstrip on the money run I brought the car up on the brake and upon letting the transbrake go the motor died instantly. It restarted and I went back to the trailer. I checked the pick up gap and it was at .065 and then reset it to .045. [7" dia wheel] It is the 1/2" style p/u and seems to be centered over the pick up wheel nicely. I quickly checked for crank thrust issues and found none. I went back out for second round and it did basicallty the same thing. I did find a possible clt sensor lug loose after the second round run but there were no fault codes on my check engine light. I f the clt wire was loose enough to be an issue would that left a code? I'll check the ohms on the p/u when cold and hot and post them. The only other possibility would be an Faulty alt putting out some dirty power or noise. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-----PLEASE!!!!!!

p/u checks 687 ohms cold and 755 ohms hot.
