lost power??!!

i was driving yesterday and criusing about 65 it acked like i let my foot completly off the throttle no sputtering just nothing its not lingage and their is still resistance from the spring if it happens i let my foot totally off the throttle and then put my foot into it again and it responds. it seemed to be limnked with bumps in the road and if it happened it dident matter if i gave it more throttle there was nothing i had to let my foot right off then come back into it it did it about every 30 miles so only 4-5 times. im kinda weirded out could it be the plunger on the solinoid becoming unenergzed and closing i dont know. any help would be awsome non of my gauges had anything to tell me the altonater was charging and my headlights werent dimming. boost and everything was the same as usual. i just did the fuel filter it almost seems electrical if thats even possible.

The terminal on the shutoff wire often gets loose. Replace the spade terminal with a ring terminal.
