My car turned off but not the radio or air. So it wasnt the battery right? When I turned the key and pumped some gas it started going. What could it be?

If it only did it that once, don't sweat it. No, not the battery.

Not the battery, the car just stalled ... With the low RPM of just sitting in line at the drive thru combined with running the A/C and you prolly turned the wheel a little did it. I would get the fuel filter changed for sure and maybe a tune up if it's been a while.

Could have been anything. Maybe dirty fuel or water in the fuel line or dirty fuel injectors. You might consider buying some dry gas or fuel injector cleaner. If it were my car, I'd start by filling up with a tank of high quality gas (like Shell premium) next time. If it continues to happen, then I'd worry about the dry gas, etc.
Good luck! :)

could be as simple as "vapor lock" which occurs when the fuel gets so hot it vaporizes in the fuel line. If it does it again, have it checked. It could be that it overheated, did any lights come on on the dash? Or it could be that it was a hot day, the a/c was running and your idle speed is set too low.

Air, fuel or ignition got interrupted. Your vehicle may need a tune up but it could be a various of things.
