Nissan Altima: 93' Nissan Altima shuts down while driving

I have a 93 Nissan Altima and it was running fine then next thing you know
it shuts down on me while i'm in traffic driving. I took it to the shop
and they say they can't find the problem, but he believes that it has
something to do with the spaark to the engine. It's like if the engine
gets a little hot then the car decides to shut off but the needle is not
reading that the car is over heating. Do anyone have any suggestions on
what the problem may be ?

I had a bad negative battery cable clamp and replaced it. The new cable has
a twist knob I assumed was for removing the battery post clamp so the flat
could be bolted to the side terminal batteries. Turns out if this is even
the slightest bit loose, the twist knob, electrical contact between the
battery and the car can become intermittent. Mine was causing the engine to
cut out for seconds at a time.
