1987 Porsche 9294s, 91,000 5 speed, in otherwise excellent condition. Problem has occurred four times in last 1000 miles. Engine cuts out in the same exact circumstance: under acceleration, after shifting to 4 th gear, under normal load and acceleration, at about 2800 rpm. After gliding to a stop, car restarts in one or two tries. Has not cut out under any other condition. Cut out is instantaneous, and complete--no sputter, hickup, balk or anything. Any ideas?

Wow, thats a good one. If it only does it in 4th gear, then take someone with you on a test drive. When the car dies, roll to a stop and immediately check for fuel and spark. We need to find out which it is.

Have done as suggested, when it cut out the last time. Had both fuel and spark, and engine restarted immediately. This is the same as other 3 times. Looked for loose ground, but found nothing with my limited abilities. Wonder if switching the fuel filter might be a good "shot in the dark" solution?
