Dont know what side your oil pick up is but ive known it on cvh engines that if your oil is very low and you go round a hard left the light will flicker on and its cuts out a bit as from what i can gather it cant pick up enough oil to open the hyrdraulic lifter enough for the valves to fully open

Check the earth straps as if one is broken it will cause problems.
