Yes! the 3.1 has the fusable links just like yours, there on the postive post on the silonoid.

Did your computer throw a code when it stoped or stumbled?
Dunno....never tried to read any, as the check engine light never stayed on. My guess is that with the power dropping dead to the ECM, it never logged any codes.
But I can't say that for sure.

I started with the meter on the B+ feed to the ECM and the car running....until I verified that the feed was being lost there. Then out to the fuse with the key on, waiting for the voltage to come back, which it did after waiting for things to cool down, which of course turned out to be the bad connection at the fusible link.
Then I just left the key on and started doing the wiggle dance until I found the culprit.
