maybe your IAC valve went to low and caused a low idle then corrected itself.

Go sit in the corner.

Check your coolant level

You're trying to diagnose something that happened once. Not easy to do.

How long has it been since you have changed your fuel filter? May be a fuel system issue?

How old are your plugs? I would double check to make sure they are tight.

Also, check your wires.

clean your IACV. It may be just beginning to get stuck. At this many miles, if it hasn't been clean, then it should be.
