Default 93 Died again

My 93 convert has died on me 2 times, both times with top down and storage area completely filled with stuff to start a trip. First time engine just shut down and would restart after ignition turned completely off. Second time engine would restart but run rough. Dealer checked after first time and found nothing. After I unloaded stuff in storage area the second time started and run fine. Any ideas out there? Is there a possibility I am causing a short in a fuel pump wire running through the rear storage area?

Do you get a SES or SYS light? Any codes?

Forget the ses or sys. Sounds like you have already isolated your problem. I'd start tearing into that storage area and find out waht's going on- or better yet- tear into that HELMS manual and find out what's in there BEFORE you tear into it.

Sounds like coincidence to me. A service manual will help. rvs if you think it's a fuel pump/delivery problem, get the tools needed to check it.
