RE: More on oil

     Help, does anybody out there have any ideas on what is causing these 
     symptoms.
     
     Tooling down the highway just fine, all of a sudden the engine acts 
     like I turned off the ignition. It slows down and has no response to 
     the gas pedal.  However, the lights, gauges, radio, etc all stay on. 
     If I turn off the iginition then back on it comes back to life.  
     Haven't yet seen any common events in these episodes.
     
     All ideas will be considered and greatly appreciated.
