2001 4runner shut off while driving
About a month ago, I left an ~8 hour meeting, got in my 4runner, let it idle for about 5 minutes then took off. Not 1000 feet down the road, the Check Engine, Battery, and Oil light came on and the car stopped. All the electrical worked fine, and the engine cranked but wouldn't turn over. I called AAA, and while on the phone, just out of frustration I tried to turn it back on, and it fired up just fine and I was able to get home. Once home, AAA sent a battery guy out to check on my battery because I noticed some corrosion on the actual battery itself, but the reading came back good.
My gas tank was almost empty (low tank light came on about 10 miles down the highway), the car had been sitting in the sun for a while, and I had my AC on full blast, but none of those have ever been issues in the past. I finally got some time this weekend and checked all the electrical connections and cleaned up my battery to looking new, and everything seems fine. I drove it to the store and back today and nothing seemed off Does anybody have any ideas about what may have happened?
