Car died first time

Pulled into parking spot and while placing the car in park it just died, my fan and radio was still on, car just died, it took me a second to realize what happened, so I waited a few more seconds then tried to restart the car and it sputtered back on, what do you guys think happened, it felt like the car couldn't get gas, hopefully it's just a one time thing.

Stock, it's a hot day and a/c was running but before I park I always turn off a/c but keep fan on, it's probably just my mind but I feel like the car hesitates now when pressing the gas pedal.

a common issue is a certain vacuum hose coming off the engine... take a look around and see if anything has popped off. If so, put it back on and tie wrap that sucker down.

throw any codes?

Well when i first got the car I already zip tied the hoses, no codes car just died, I get the feeling it was just one of those times, car seems fine now, I don't know if it's related to the hard start issues I get once in awhile.

Look on the left side of your posts. Under your Username it says "Location", and yours is listed as "ONTARIO"....

Well I guess it's funny I don't see it because I'm using the mobile site and I do live in Ontario, California yeah I can imagine a big difference in weather, Ontario Canada very cold, Ontario California hot and smells like cow pies, the roads here are garbage, massive pot holes repaired with silly putty.

That's funny, but you should definitely edit your profile and change your location to "Ontario, CA", so that people know where you're writing from when you post threads or replies!

I posted a while back about my car dying going through a drive thru. It only happened one time and never happened since. I chalk it up to a freak thing. Just better not happen again.
