In the response to my original question about my engine cutting off while driving, hmac300 stated that it could a connection problem. What connections are your referring to that could cause the problem, so I can contact the mechanic and pass along those connections to check?

it can be a connectoion problem on one of the sensors or the pcm itself. if this is a 3.8 he will probably check crank and cam sensors connections as well as resistance of those two sensors.
