Default so my 99 gs stalled out on me last night

so i was on cruise control at about 65 on the highway when the car fell out of gear, and stopped responding to the accelerator, eventually it came to a complete stop, with occasional thrusts forward. The rpm's were normal. I pulled over and gave it like 2 minutes. When it started up, it still wasnt in gear and rolled forward for like 15 feet before it kicked into gear. I just had an oil change 4 days ago... idk what could have caused this...

Any ideas?

This just happened to me yesterday. I stopped for my usual $78 gas fill up . When I started th car back up and put it in gear it did not want to move more than .2 MPH. After 45 seconds it started going just fine. It ran fine the rest of the day and this morning. Guess I need to order a TPS sensor soon.
