Check your engine to frame ground strap (bolts in with the coil).

Check your battery cable ground wire.

Check the misc grounds that are hooked up to the front framerail under the hood.

No pics tho, sorry man.

I believe an intermittent ignition switch can cause power outage issues. Here's a write-up from Shoebox's site: http://shbox.com/ignsw/ign_switch_repl.html
