Have you checked the fuel pump?
engine cuts out
1993-9000-CSE Turbo/4 cyl/ TCS
Engine cuts out unexpectedly at any speed. Will restart right away.
On a couple of occasions I noticed the rpm meter bounce down and back up.
The starter is now wired directly to the ignition because was having problems restarting and could not isolate the problem. Engine now restarts all the time right after it cuts out.
Have replaced crank position sensor, ignition switch, throttle body, tried new DIC, cleaned earth grounds in engine compartment and one under dash on drive's side. Also cleaned the DIC connector and the plug that goes into the firewall.
Previously to throttle body replacement the car had a very heavy pedal with poor acceleration and occasionally the TCS would go into limp mode.
One night the car stopped and was not able to restart. Starter would engage but engine would not. When the DIC and ignition switch where replaced the car restarted but would continue to cut out.
Currently the car has the old DIC back on and a throttle body from a 96-9000.The throttle body has improved the performance of the car and the limp mode does not come on anymore but the engine continues to cut out suddenly. Have not been able to discern any pattern.
Help
Thank you,

Just wanted to do a follow up: I checked with the indie who replaced the throttle body and he confirmed that it was calibrated. Good thing for me to know, because I was under the impression that one could just do a straight swap.
I got a hold of a fuel pressure valve and a fuel pump and installed both.
The engine still cuts out. The only pattern I've noticed recently it that it happens within the first five minutes of the first drive of the day. When the event happens, the tach pops down and back up, depressing throttle pedal then has no affect on the engine and the battery indicator (showing the engine is off) doesn't come on until 2 or 3 seconds after that. The car always restarts right away (ignition wired directly to starter).
Any help, welcome
The power door lock issue was unrelated. I crushed some wires when I replaced the rear view mirror. Repaired.
