something strange happened on my drive home today...

[Pickles]

So, i make about a mile drive to work every day. I got out at 8, and I stopped at a stoplight, I then proceded to go very slowly over a large bump, and sped up so i didnt bother traffic behind me. I was at 6k rpms in first, just about to shift, when everything cut out. Headlights, radio restarted, fogs, ignition, everything. Car restarted by itself when i turned the key in second gear, pulled over, headlights turned on when i flipped them on then off. It was only off for maybe .5-1 second. I am stumped as to what wouldve caused this. My first thought was a loose battery cable. Checked both, super tight and clean (giggity). Checked all the relays because ive had problems with them before, all were working and none were warm at all which is what would happen when they are going bad. The only other thing I can think of is that maybe the ECU dun goof'd? Any ideas?

6k rpm in first gear, cut out just when you pushed in clutch to stall it?

How often are you at 6K RPM in first gear?

[Pickles]

Not often at all. I was at wot and 1st goes by pretty fast. I never go above 6 unless I'm drag racing. Not sure how any of this is relevant, but I have my flame suit on so go ahead and light a fire
