i have a 1989 180sx and i got an issue where while the car is driving it will shut off, this happens during idle and also while the car is driving

the ICM has been changed

fuel tank changed

fuel pump changed

relay to fuel pump changed

alternator has been change

the engine was rebuilt and before and after the rebuild it was happening

injectors have been changed

the car use to drive fine and idle fine, it feels like after cold start the car just shutsoff while driving completely do it will idle for a bit then shutoff, and if the car is driving the car will drive shutoff while driving and if the car was at a high rpm sometimes it will turn back on and drive normally again. the radio turns off the dash turns off and the powersteering cuts

the car has other issues i dont know if it will affect the shutoff issue but when the headlights turn on the stereo cuts power

I would start by checking battery terminal connections and all ground points for the vehicle to make sure you have good quality clean electrical connections.

terminals have been checked and changed when engine was rebuilt

Since the Engine Speed reporting drops to zero, I would say this is a classic sign of a failing crank sensor or cam sensor.
