96 850 random stall when hitting bump
My 96 850 turbo has a fast stall when hitting pretty significant bumps in road, rpm dies, check engine light and upshift arrow flash on and car dies for roughly a second then collects itself and runns fine, all lights are still on so i'm not thinking grounds, did a quick once over and made sure major things are plugged in fully, im leaning towards possibly the Fuel pump relay, primarily because of the age of it honestly, i know the P80 connectors are garbage essentially as a whole, but looking for a little direction to possible common things

That smells of electrical harness problems more than fuel issues.
Ignition switch, battery cables, terminal connector in the kidney fusebox are high mileage/ time wearpoints

You could try wiggling/jabbing at the wiring harness while its idling to see if you can narrow down a location.
