I have a 1993 850. I have had problems with it cutting off. It never cuts off at high speeds, just at very slow speeds and once just starting up in the morning. It mostly cuts off went drifting through a parking lot or rolling through a turn. What happens is I will push the gas pedal and it feels like its losing power (like it feels when running out of gas). Then, it shuts off and all the IPC lights come on. Usually, the second time it cranks up and quickly shuts off again. 3rd time is a charm because it cranks up and acts like there is no problem at all. Now I have had the throttle body & IAC module cleaned and also did a complete tune-up. It acted fine for a while, now its back to acting up every so often. Any clue?

Sounds like a short or grounding problem- check all of your wires from your battery for good ground connections and corrosion.
