Default HELP Intermitt. cutting out '96 FLH EFI

Maybe someone can head me in a direction here. What happens is when I crack the throttle after changing gears, the motor will just cut out for a few seconds. It has never cut out long enough to stall. It will idle fine right after it happens. It is very intermitten. It may do it a few times in a row and then not again for the next 3 hours of driving. I can drive down the highway - no problems. Only when I go to crack the throttle. No codes have been thrown on the speedo. This has happened after 5-6 refills of gas at all different stations. I'm thinking its electrical - ECM, Injection modual, relay, fuel pump???
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;
How can I isolate this???
thanks

Start simple, first check to see if battery cables are tight, then look for a loose ground wire somewhere.

[:@]well it started cutting out again as i was setting a a traffic light. Same as always - idles fine but as I crack the throttle it wants to cut out. What i was able to determine was if I twisted the throttle slowly it didn't cut out. For the minute that i was stopped I verified this several times. Twisting slowly -OK,twisting fast - cutting out. ???????????????
For the rest of my 7 miles and several more stops at traffic lights on my way home - no problems at all. [:@][:@]
