Default S300/wiring problem

97 acura rs
B20/vtec boosted
Hondata s300 v1
Rc 550 walboro 255lph

Car runs fine in cold weather or while driving on the street, but i have been having problems with the ecu turning off for a half second after about 10 freeway miles. This only happens when the weather is about 80 degrees plus outside. It usually happens when the car is in load but will happen at idle at times. If i turn the car off it starts right back up and i can drive about 2 miles in between before the problem comes back. Things i tried are re soldering the main relay and switching distributors. I also tried data logging but it looks like the ecu disconnects and reconnects for a quick second. Any help would be appreciated. Here is a link of a video when the problem is happening at idle. Thanks

Borrow another s300 and see if the problem continues. Just to verify if it is the s300 or something else actually causing the problem.

C14 cap possibly leaking if the ecu acts funny in hot weather. I would check/replace before it takes out your ecu/

Take a picture of the guts of your ECU and don't downsize the picture quality. We/I can visual check some of the parts for damage that way.
