    Engine dies while cruising

    Hi all!

    (first thread please be nice)

    My car is a Euro 316 (4/87) with a 2.0liter m20.

    The last three weeks i have a strange problem.

    When i start the car it starts ok but when i try to move when pressing the pedal engine almost dies.

    Same thing when i am on highway and cruising at constant speed, when i hit the pedal (not WOT) engine dies like it has no spark, i assume it has fuel because everytime it happens i have flames from the exhaust.

    When it happens the r3v indicator goes to 0 rpm but EVERY other electric related thing on the car works fine.

    Checked the O2 sensor (it is 1 year old OEM)
    Swapped the MAF with one from a working car
    Swapped the crank sensor also
    Alternator works fine ( rebuilt one year ago), checked last week
    Swapped the ignition coil with a new one
    Checked ALL the wiring harness of the engine for cuts - short circuits

    Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance for reading!
