Camaro Dies while Driving - HELP

Three times today ... I Need help / advise !!
(quock details, background)
Here is what happened;
Pulled Camaro out of garage, turned around and put back in.

Installed ZL1 Spoiler, Plugged in the 3rd Brake Light Harness (previously wired / working) got ready for work and;
#1 - Camaro wouldn't Turn over.
Baffled and needing to get to work I thought I would try fusebox.
looked at fuses 16,17&18 all good - Tried again and started ?!?!?

Did not turn Camaro off but had to return a Redbox and get a sandwich.
#2 - Died at a stop light (no I didn't kill it)
Popped the hood, puled / reseated 16,17 &18 and started again ?!?

Got on the freeway, cause now I am in a time crunch and need to get to work

#3 - 15 miles later at 75 MPH it died again,
Put Clutch In, Headed toward the off ramp, Let out clutch thinking 'Push-Start" and no-go.. Rules out the Starter being the trouble.
Popped the hood, puled / reseated 16,17 &18 and started again ?!?

Lastly,
The 1st time (in my garage) when I got it started, there was no "Check Engine" light, the other times the light stayed on.

The only message I saw was "Engine is running with Reduced Power" that was when the ign was on, buit not starting and when it died on the freeway at 75.



So, Has anyone heard of this ?
Next time I intend on trying the fuses one at a time to narrow it down.


Someone might ask;
I have not taped in to any wires
I do have a Plug-n-Play harness to keep DRL lights on
I have a Plug-n-Play harness for the ZL1 Spoiler
I have one of these "add-a-fuse's plugged in to "Spare" (fuse #52)



UPDATE - Just tried starting three times (in a row) and worked all three.
so rules out not starting/running every time I turn it off.

After the three attempts, I popped the hood and unplugged and pulled the wires out of the fuse box for the above add-a-fuse.



Still Baffled, Any suggestions ?!?!?
