Default Wasn't sure where to post this

My girlfriend has recently been having problems with her 2000 Z28. Twice now, in 2 days, the car has cut out on her. Both times were right after she started the car. She said the first time her clock reset and SES light went out. The second time the SES light went out but didnt reset her clock. She isnt having any problems during actual driving. Any of you guys have an idea of whats going on? Thanks in advance.

Yep. That's your starting point. Hopefully it'll provide enough info about the problem to resolve it.

She throws the same codes as me......sensor 1 bank 2 and things like that. None of the codes are anything we dont usually get when we pull the codes. It's like it's resetting everything. Like I said, when it does it the SES light goes out. But I'll check it again. Thanks guys.

Talked to her again since my last post. This time it happened twice in a row. She is telling me that the car isnt actually completely starting. Rather, it begins to turn over and then dies (if this makes any sense) I am going to take a look at her (the car, guys ) tomorrow. It seems its getting progressively worse. Yeah, Unit......electrical scares me too Thanks again guys.
