A few seconds is a looooooooooong time when cruising.  When my camper needed a new AFM it would quit without warning, then reengage, but the outage was never seconds long -- more like a second if that.  But when it quit, it quit, then refired.  I imagined all sorts of fuel and electrical problems, but thanks to a knowledgeable mechanic, got on the right track.  mcneely
