Re: loosing power for a seconds

I don't know about losing power but I know about the "Sensor keys".

Do you have a green light the shape of a key on your dash when you turn the key on? The cars with the immobilizer do. It comes on when you turn the key on and then goes out once it has sensed the proper key. If the proper key is not sensed it starts flashing.

The system only prevents the engine from starting. It does not prevent it from running. Once running, you don't need the key so that would not be your problem.

If it made it for 6weeks without a issue, I would replace that same relay again. If problem again goes away again it’s a good starting point.

Are you sure? It looks like a regular key but there is a transponder inside it. The blinking key on the dash is what will tell you if you have one or not.
