check gauges

the check gauges light came after I started the car up and it shut off , I have gas so I don't know what it could be ? I did have the fuel filter replaced recently but that was over a week ago

I had over 1/2 tank of gas and the car so it wasn't that,
and the battery/alternator are fine,
it just felt like the gas was cut off 'cause it started, and the idle went very low, so I tried to give it gas to keep it on but it just shut off!!!!!!
hasn't done it since so I can't think of what's up.
