The garage fairies fixed it for you overnight. It was probably the O2 sensor.

I hate when this happens

True story, this happened to me in the middle of the Mojave desert on a dirt road.

Turn the AC off

Yes, park in automatic, neutral in manual.

It was specifically mentioned as pulled.

This happened a couple of months ago and the issue seems fixed. Still have no clue what could have gone wrong.

Oil pressure sender crapped out. That was a shit my pants moment because I didn't know how I was gonna get all my stuff and the truck hauled the last bit of the trip. Plus I didn't have a house yet at my destination so I was going to be staying in a hotel for a few days.

do you lack basic comprehension skills?

Check the carburetor. The idle screw might be too high.

Clean your MAF and throttle body

Did it for me. The car would jerk back and forth for fucking ever whenever you took your foot off the gas in first or second.
