Default Car left me stranded on the 10 yesterday.

I was 'that' guy that people honk at when their car gets
stranded in the middle of the freeway. Traffic came to a stop
and my car started idling real low rpms at first i it was because
the converter then it just died and wouldnt start up just crank
over. Finally got it to start a little so i pulled of the freeway. I tell
you if its not one thing its another.

I had my buddy use his AAA to get my car towed home. Im thinking might be
fuel pump. Weird because its not throwing any codes.
