I was on the phone calling in a tow truck. A stranger was going to push it out of the intersection. Then suddenly. It started again. Why would it stall? If I take it to a mechanic, what should I tell them to look for. The check engine light did not come on. Only the oil light. However, there was plenty of oil in the car. I did have slighlty less than a 1/4 tank of gas.
