maybe it was a once in a million electrical gremlin that isn't reproducable in a shop environment and therefore undiagnosable. try and remember as much as you can about the stall such as road speed, engine speed, engine temp, OIL PRESSURE(if your engine takes a while to start, it could be a bad fuel pump relay, and the car is actually cutting the fuel pump on with the oil pressure sensr/switch, and the hard nose dive may have dropped pressure enough to kill the fuel pump, but i kinda doubt that one), ambient air temp, any strange noises, vibrations, shudders, etc. Even consider the last place you got fuel and the last time/person who worked on the car.

well i just got my oil changed a few hours b4 that at a local dealer(yeah i know its expensive but i keep it dealer maintained....for most part) my car has no vibrations or studders it has slightly under 70000 miles so its "like" new....and i got gas at delta sonic car wash where i work at.....never had a problem b4

anybody else have an opinion.....hope its not the pump.....around 1/4 the gas guage does like to fluctuate
