While stopping at a red light on a highway, the car engine stalled and shut off.
Engine check light came on, without apparent reason (I. E. Not behind on maintenance schedule). Shortly after, engine started stalling; first time just fell like engine was being sluggish and needed to give more gas to get power; second time, car nearly fell still (down to a couple of mph's), even when applying serious gas (and clearly hitting high rpm & engine roaring loudly). Just managed to pull the car aside. When towtruck arrived 30 minutes later, problem had disappeared. . . (for now). A quick check on google sounds like this may be due to many causes, from simple air intake sensor, to more serious ecm problems. Either ways, having your engine stall suddenly seems pretty dangerous, especially if this happens in busy traffic. Plan to have this checked out immediately.
