Electrical Problem?

[pbureau@attbi.com (ATS - Patrick Bureau)]

replace the voltage rregulatopr on your alternator, this just happened to me
over the last 2 weeks on my daily driver, until it just died on me, I
replaced the voltage regulatro (22$/autozone 2 screws 5 mins work) and she
was back to bnormal again.

=>This has happened a couple times in the last few days.  I'm
=>driving down the
=>road with my lights and radio on.  All the sudden the car will
=>have a slight
=>pause in it that feels much like when an automatic downshifts on the
=>freeway.  My temperture light blinks about 3 times, the radio goes silent
=>for about half a second, and then everything just goes back to normal.  I
=>thought that it was my battery cable cause my positive was getting kinda
=>corruded so I cleaned it but the problem started happening again today.
=>
=>Another strange thing is that this has tended to happen only in
=>one spot of
=>town.  I remember hearing about a guy having problems with his
=>Jaguar and it
=>turned out that the car's computer was picking up some interferring signal
=>whenever he got to a certain part of the freeway and his car
=>would just shut
=>off.  The mechanic put a special shield around his computer and
=>the problem
=>went away.  I didn't think that my 84 8valve has much in the way of
=>computers in it but seeing as its always this one part of town, it really
=>makes me wonder.
=>
=>Any ideas???
