My GE tried to stall on me today?

This afternoon before work, I was sitting in my car waiting for my shift to start, and it shuttered for just a second, and the electronics all stopped. I shut it off, and it restarted just fine, so it isn't the battery. It was idling really low, like almost touching the 500 RPM mark. I've never seen it do anything like this before.

Anyone have any ideas? Has just over 50,000 KM on the clock.

check the usual suspects

Fuel: what kind/brand are you puttin in (not an octane question)

Air: have you replaced your air filter? what kind do you have?, check the maf sensor housed above the filter for any debris, if anything is in there that shouldnt be, replace.

is the engine noticeably loud? our valve need to be adjusted at regular intervals.

this is off the top of my head but good luck in getting your issue resolved!

1) Husky 89. Same stuff I've been using for years
2) K&N cone filter. I check the MAF when I clean it, since I'm in there.
3) Intake makes the car louder, but nothing unusual. It's pretty quiet at idle.

Seems to be a one time freak thing? It hasn't been a problem since then.
