I was driving on the freeway this afternoon and car felt good but all of a sudden I see the engine symbol start to flash on and off and I put it in fourth to move to the right lanes just in case I have to pull over and I've got no power felt like a 4 cylinder I tried to rev it up to see if there was any smoke coming from the back and no no smoke and the rpm went up slowly struggled to rev air conditioner was on and I noticed that the air had stopped working while all this was going on a minute later the car came back to life and the light went off where should I start looking?

Ok I'm home...I'll check the previous threads but yea the car is pretty stock all it has done is

2007
GT
4.10's
Fidanza clutch
Fidanza flywheel
Eaton True Track diff

one thing I noticed after the clutch install was that everything ran perfect but when runnin it on 5th gear at low rpms in the freeway I feel a vibration. (I assumed that it might be normal with a clutch like this)

by the way what's this Yellow wrench?

You know what when I had my clutch replaced I had a similar vibration and it just kept getting worse with time, turns out my drive shaft wasnt tightened to spec and it started to wiggle loose. Good thing I took it in cause that shit was about to come off. The vibration came and went at certain rpms, not saying its that but couldnt hurt to check. I think the wrench means its something mechanical as oposed to something electronical or A/F related than your computer can easily pick up. I would say definetly take it in before that driveshaft comes slamming through your floorboard. If it is that of course but I would definetely start checking with the parts I have messed with first. And yours seems to be in the transmission area.
