Default 1998 Ford Ranger Stalls Out Over Bumps

While driving down the road in my 5 speed ranger the engine will die every time i hit a bump/crack in the road unless i push in the clutch real quick to stop it from jerking and it will eventually come out of it. If i don't push in on the clutch quickly the engine dies and the check engine and battery light comes on. Ive replaced the valves that are usually affiliated with that sort of problem and I checked the camshaft sensor for the loose magnet idea but no luck. Any ideas?

Just a thought, you might want to make sure that the connections to your battery are tight and not loose as well as the grounds.

Also, make sure you cant move the battery itself and it is held in place with the clamp.
