strange problem car shuts off

SO heres the problem its weird. So what happens the car will start n idle. If i start to move the car it will dye. Then it wont start agian. Ill move the ms like grab it an move it. its just sitting on the floor right now. The car will start agian. an i can drive it all over. But If i grab the ms well the car is running an move it it dies or turn it over like upside down it dies. I went threw all my wires an there all soldered an tight.

Also i soldered a new db37 in an the same thing. The male part of the ms i even opened up the tips of the pins so that it would make a tighter connection in to the female connecter. Still the same thing. I dont know what it could be i hope this makes sence ill post a datalog tomorrow

Sounds like you have a bad connection on the board itself. Cold solder, cracked trace, etc.
