Engine cutting out when accelerating in first gear.

[J-GTi 0]

Hi Folks,

First off, car is a 97 highline with a vortech v9 'charger.

Have a slightly confusing problem, under hard acceleration in 1st gear (only 1st any other gear is fine *-) ) the car will splutter and cut out for a split second, clocks and light's turn off and back on too.

Seems to be an electrical problem going by the electrics turning off but after poking around the engine bay for a while today I didn't spot any loose or worn wires.

It won't do it if you pull away normally but as soon as you attempt to give it a little stick it'll pop as if it's misfiring and you'll see the light's/clocks turn off and back on.

As I said it'll only do it in firts gear, I'v noticed the rear mount seems to have a bit of play which could be causing it to rub against some wiring and cause a short but as I said I didn't spot anything.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Sorry if this has been asked before but I couldn't find anything after loads of searches.

Thanks

John
