Default 1995 Momentary power loss

Hi Everyone,
I got a wierd one for you, as usual.
I have a 1995, 6 speed.
I was running along at about 60 and was changing lanes to pass a slower car, i left it in 4th, just punched the gas.
When i did the motor just lost all power, but NO warning lights at all.
As i coasted to the side of the road, the engine was running, just no power.
When i stopped the car i got a very light flicker of the battery light, i then turned the key off and restarted and the car started like there was no problem and i had all my usual power.

I pulled the battery, cleaned the connections which were corroded, had the battery checked and it was fine.

Any ideas?

Mike

Default Found the answer

Hi all,
well after much diagnosis with my Corvette mechanics, it turned out to be a the fuel pressure regulator AND a weak ignition coil.
