Engine stalls while driving. Intermittent problem.
Are there any issues that could cause something that would appear as shutting the ignition off/on while driving?
To me it sounds like improper grounding/battery connection, or a broken wire to an ignition module or similar. Anyone got any experiences like that?
The engine just cut while driving, and the gauges/lights in the dash flashed like they do when you turn the ignition on in the morning. First time this happened was after hitting a bump in the road. Engine starts right up afterwords.

Could be an ignition switch problem. VERY common on 1997 as the switch was unique to that year, but it can happen to any of them. https://blazerforum.com/forum/articl...-switch-33465/

Replaced the ignition switch, and the car seems to be working perfectly fine. Even the windshield wipers, which sometimes seemingly had a life of its own, are now behaving according to switch position.
Might also mention that when the car stalled, and was refusing to start, one could hear sort of a slow whirring noise coming from below the drivers seat (assuming it was the fuel pump). This noise dissappeared after the ignition switch replacement.
