Unhappy 1992 LX 2.3L N/A, just ups and stalls

Odd problem my mustang jut up and stalls while driving down the road with no pre-effect to it feeling like it will stall.

Start the car over...fine.
Drive down one road...fine.
Take left turn...not fine car just completely shuts off, no radio,no lights.
Slam the car in park and turn car over and she fires right back up.

I recently had her tuned, new sparks, new coil packs, timed, fuel filter, and some thing called a "crank shaft pulley sensor".

Only thoughts are I think when I had the fuel filter replaced the people screwed up or something, since that day she has been slowly dieing.

Anyhow any info would be great, students don't make much money to just take a car to a shop to get fixed...

I would be looking at an electrical issue, the Cranksensor is in the same neighborhood as the ground cable for the battery, Check where the battery cable is connected to the engine, make sure it's tight.

I checked the ground wire or so I believe, its down near the water pump if I am correct, just kinda followed the wires from the battery to the engine.

I think I found out the problem though, one of the connectors for the coil pack was halfway on and halfway seems the lock broke off hopefully that solved it.

On a side note though, is it normal for the EGR valve to blow out white smoke on occasion.
