Default !!Help!! Engine just shuts down

guys i really need help


tuesday y replaced original coil for an accel mopar & a pacesetter air fx intake air filter and some 8.2 thunderbolt spark plug cables such as cap and rotor
spark plugs are also new.

my truck worked perfectly but today when i was dirving back home the engine just shutted off for 3 times
as soon as it shutted off i started again and ran perfectly until it shutted off again which could be the problem.

i all ready checked for some loosen cables and hoses that go to the sensors and all of them seem to be O.k
any recomendations ?

coil wiring loose or shorting

was it a direct replacement where the connector just cliped in or did you have to do some wiring yourself?

the conector just clipped

forgot to say before installing all that stuff cleaned the motor with degreaser and pressure washer
thats why i checked all hoses just in case that some one was loose due to the water pressure

A single or even multiple plug or wires won't shut the engine down. Did it throw any codes? I think it's wet component or coil problem. If problem persists put the old coil back in, and see if that fixes the problem.
