Intermittently shuts off while driving.

1993 Aero 5spd 240,000 miles.
Happened once during the summer, I hit an expansion joint on an interstate overpass and the car shut off for just a second, just like turning the key back. I checked/cleaned the battery terminals and the little accessory power block by the battery tray. Didn't come back for several months, now its happening a couple times a week. No corelation between speed or how hard a bump in the road is hit. Sometimes the clock has reset, sometimes the radio needs the code entered, but not every single time, headlights & dashlights have gone off every time but only for a second. I can push the clutch in & the car fires right back up without touching the key. Dealer mentioned heavy keychains hanging from the column, not an issue here. Ill have to do the troubleshooting myself, cant pay a dealer to track an intermittent electrical bug. Battery is new, positive cable is new, connections are clean & battery is fastened down tight. Ive read something about an injector ground but couldnt find it & and a ground #8 somewhere up around the left front speaker, again couldnt find it. Anyone have any tips, besides the obvious, as to what I can look for. Ive searched the archives alot but if this is a common issue I havent found the right combination of search terms yet. Thanks in advance for any help someone can lend.
