Ignition amp-would that throw a code up? I really need to fit my std airbox so it can be cooled in the airbox.

Odd one, i used to have a barge that did this and never did find the fault, i have heard about sensor faults causing this.

ignition amp will rarely throw a code on AGU's... no missfire detection

if its only cut out the once it may never happen again, just one of those gremlins or ecu brainfarts
