Started Cr and it Failed to Idle I was leaving work yesterday evening when I went to fire the car up as normal, but it refused to idle. It acted like I had just reset the PCM... sputtering, chugging, and then just died after about 10 seconds or so.
Strange thing is.... I've had an SES light for my passenger side O2, as it's not fully in the exhaust flow for about 2 years now since I put the LT's on. After the car died, I let it sit for a bit, then tried again, and it fired right up, but this time WITHOUT the SES light. It had been running a tad bit on the rough side the last week or so, now it's done this and is running really strong. It idles fine as well, so I'm perplexed as to what the heck happened. Any ideas?? Thanks!

No, no scanning device. 
As I said, it WAS throwing a code for the right front O2 saying it had a low reading. It's all gone now, though. Does the PCM store code information in it? Would that be a way I could find out what the hiccup was?
Thanks!
