Thats pretty much right on, I was indeed slowing down and turning when this happened.
As for wiggling all the wires, I did that to all the ones I could see and nothing happened (and the car was running) then I decided to shut a few things with some force to see if that did aything. And sure enough, after I shut the hood and the passenger door a little harder than normal it lost power. The weird thing is I hit bumps on the road harder than that and this has never happened before.
Either way, I am still going to get the ignition manafold replaced and if there are anyother problems I'll do it myself. I normally do stuff like this myself, but I dont have a garage the weather refuses to cooperate, so I'll have pros do it so I dont screw anything up
