98 Es300 Engine Dies @ Stop Light.. Then Ok

[total1]

My daughter has a 98 ES300 w/ 161K miles. On Friday, 6/18/2010 she was at a stop light and the engine just quit. No warning... dash lights lit up and she called me. After having her look under the hood (rush hour traffic at that!) and not seeing any fluid issues or things that were obvious I had her attempt to restart the car. (She's not a mechanic but she can sure communicate!) Anyrate, we turned off the AC, radio and lights. The 98 ES300 started just like normal! Outside temp was 92 degrees. She drove it home while we were on the telephone together. She's driven it about 100 miles since then and all seems well.

Any ideas of the issue or what we can check? We don't have any problems that we're aware of (except a minor accident later that day when she nipped my wife's ES300... see later post if you're interested!).

TIA!!!

OK! Now, how do I properly clean them? Where are they located on the 98's?
