Hoping that maybe someone out there might have a better idea of a problem I encountered today.

I was driving to work this morning and as I slowed down for a traffic light, my engine just shut off. The battery light and the check engine light come on, followed by the oil light after a brief delay. It is possible that the battery light may have come on slightly before the check engine light, but I am not 100% on that as I wasn't paying that close attention. It started right back up and ran with no issues.

I put a scan tool on it and there are no codes, pending or otherwise. This is the first time this has happened.

Thanks,
Dave

Update:
Today I noticed that the idle is a bit wonky. With the engine at operating temperature and I am coasting/braking to a stop with the clutch disengaged or the engine in neutral, the engine RPMs drop to about 500 RPM and running a little rough like it is lugging/about to stall. Sometimes the RPMs bounce around a little. When I come to a full stop, the RPMs go back to 750 and the engine runs smoothly again. Possible IAC problem or a vacuum leak?
