Today, I finally got to test drive my car after swapping a 00' 1.8 motor. Everything was fine until I almost reached my destination. I noticed my car turned off (electronics were still on). I test drove it again, after a few minutes when I shifted to second, I felt the power lost. I kept pressing the throttle to see if it will help it from stalling. No luck. Any ideas what it may be? My guess would be the Cam Angle Sensor?
*Possibly ground? My ground from the battery doesn't connect to the PPF frame but on a different part of the chassis. I'll post a picture in a bit.
*Ignitor, Spark plugs, Wires, Coil Pack? I wouldn't think this would be the problem, only because the vehicle isn't running rough or misfiring. The fires are new, firing order is correct, plugs are couple days old (I used NGK iridiums), Coil pack is from a 1.6, and I have a new ignitor.
*MAF? I'm reusing my MAF from my other Miata. Possibly Maf is stuck open?
*Throttle cable? maybe this is too loose? I wouldn't think so, since the car throttle responds quickly and the throttle body butterfly/flapper opens and closes properly.

I'm trying to get rid of all the gremlins before installing the mspnp with my new turbo set up.
