Unhappy Just broke down in an intersection

One of the worst places to break down, especially when you're in the innermost lane and no one is cutting you a break to push it off the road!

Anywho, so started my w124 up this morning and all seemed right in the world, my SRS light came on which has been happening a lot lately and when it goes out it gives just a half of a second jump in RPM's which I thought was weird but nothing seemed wrong so I was like "w/e".

Well I was sitting at the red light and it was idling just fine, then, it kind of rumbled...then it rumbled hard and went back to normal, at this point I knew something might be wrong, then it rumbled hard and the RPM's drop and felt like it was going to die so I put it in neutral and it went back up but then started doing the same thing and finally died out. Started it and it fired up but then just died out again. Started once more and got the RPM's up and held it at 30 for a bit and then it died again as soon as I let go of the accelerator. When I try and start it now, it cranks and tried to catch but it misses and it misses hard.

Someone pulled over behind me and helped me push her off the street into a parking lot so I'm kind of just chillin letting her cool down to see if that will help. I don't really know where to start looking for the problem and I'm hoping to at least get her working to drive her back home since I'm REALLY CLOSE like less then three minutes and I'm out of AAA tows -.- and info/advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thank god there is a whataburger in this parking lot! Lol
