WTF!...car stalled

this is the first time my car stalled.
well i was driving for a good while b4 it stalled. right b4 it stalled, i stepped on the gas a lil more than half way to get passed a few cars...when i slowed down for a light all of a sudden the car shuts off...good thing i was at a red light...i put the car in neutral and restarted the car and drove home fine. i have no clue why my car died...i have a 99 with 36k miles on it..i do my own regular maintenance.

has this happened to any b4? any help is appreciated.

edit: the rpm did not jump around like some posts that i read.

Not Really , Sometimes the Knock Sensor wont trip your CEL, or the O2 sensor.
