Do you have a code reader?
My first thought is low fuel pressure.

It stalled, then what? Did you call a tow truck? Did it start again?

did it go into limp mode and was able to drive very slowly or completely dead?

It started again right away & I made it to work. I've had the car just a short time & this is the first time it did this.

It died. It started right up again and I made it to work.
Fingers crossed it doesn't happen on the way home.
No lights came on the dash.

Yes, I have a code reader. Will have to see if I get anything on it when I get home.
Thanks for the thought.
I guess first I'll see if it pulls a code.

My 2002 T-bird did that and would idle but not pull itself. I had it towed home and after installing some top end parts, like air mass sensor and other easy fixes, could not solve the problem without a pro. It was drivers side fuel pump and $500 later I was back on the road wondering when the next shoe would drop. It didn't for the 4 more years I owned it.

Thank you. It's only done it once. I'm hoping just a tiny thing. I think the car has been sitting for a long time. Fingers crossed ?
