truck just stalled on me yesterday goin 55 down this road by my house. rpm's dropped to 0 and the check engine light was blinking like crazy..i pullled over and tried starting it. it started fine.. then i put it in drive and it jumped a little,even when my foot was on the brake. So i had one of my buddies tow me to my mechanic and it starts up fine for him... what could b the problem, as i have no idea....

Did the engine ping before the engine died? If it didn't then it wouldn't be a bad batch of gas.
