car problem

I did a lot of driving for black friday, when i was heading home my car shuts off on me for no reason. Luckily there was a parking spot right to my right and i was rolling fast enough to pull in so i wasn't blocking anyone. I popped the hood and checked for all vacuum leaks and to see if anything was loose. nothing. I then tried starting the car again but it would only crank, but refused to start. I let it sit for another 10 minutes and tried it again and it started, I quickly drove home and haven't touched it since. Anyone have any idea what might have happened? I hope its not a bad seal.. I'd be damned. thanks everyone.

What rpm was it at when it died? Could it be that you just had the P/S pump kill it while turning at very low speed / low rpm? If the BAC doesn't supply extra air while the pump is active, it will bring engine speed down.

If that's the case, it probably just flooded when it stalled. That'd explain why it took awhile to get it restarted.
