I was just cruising and it shut off and them bump started it self. The car acted like I had just started it with all the lights on the dash coming on.

i had the same problem in my 95 ta back in the day. one day died and all of a sudden it was fine for a few months.....well this continued more and more later on. took it to the dealer and they found it was clogged up cats...just a thought but might want to check them if it happens more.

sounds like you lost power! start it up and go out and pull on your battery cables at the battery (see if they are loose at all) see if it kills the car, also check the connection at the starter also!

you still should clean the cable ends for maint.
