Help Quick!!

Okay, I was driving my ss/sc going speed limit, I take a left hand turn then about 10 seconds later the car goes all out of wack and shuts down while in gear. I was listening to music so i could here want exactly happened, but the engine shut off, i coasted to a stop, had the car pulled over, it would not start at all. I open the engine and I look and everything "looks" fine. So i close the hood. it had a funny burnt smell to it, i get back in, and it started right up. Now its sitting at my house and the engine light is on, it seems like it runs fine. anyone give me some advise please. thank you.

What type of funny burnt smell? Oil? Coolant? Tranny Fluid?

As I sit here in my "stealership" waiting to get off work
