I have a 1996 Plymouth Grand Voyager. It hiccups. By this, I mean it loses all power for a fraction of a second. It is as if the battery and alternator had been removed for a fraction of a second. It may go a few hundred miles without doing this and it may do it several times in one mile. If this happens while stopped or going very slow, the motor will die and you will have no power steering. You can immediately shift to “neutral” and start the engine and it will run fine. When this happens while going fast, say 70 MPH on freeway in Cruise Control, the speedometer will head to zero, but before it gets there the engine will restart and everything will be back to normal except cruise control will be off. You cannot get back to cruise by pressing “resume”. You must first turn Cruise on, get to desired speed and press “Set”. Sometimes the “Check Engine” light will come on after one of these hiccups. It will go off after a start or two. It has a code 12 (Battery input to PCM disconnected during last 50 key starts) which stays stored. Sometimes, after the “Check Engine” light comes on , it will temporarily store either a code 13 or 54. I have had the Cam position sensor replaced, but I doubt the old one was defective. What could cause this? Thanks
