Default P0128 dtc ?

My engine started to buck and hesitate a lot on my way home yesterday, just running like garbage. After a while my ses light was finally triggered and a few seconds later, everything was ok. Hesitation and all were gone. The code is P0128 which is supposed to be "Coolant Thermostat (Coolant Temp Below Thermostat Regulating Temperature)" but when I looked at this same code in my LS1 Edit program it says "HO2S Bank 1 insufficient activity". Which one do I believe to diagnose my problem?

I'd start by looking at the ECT sensor. Is your car an '01? www.gearchatter.com/viewtopic9163.php

Yeah, it's an '01. Why do you ask?

If your coolent sensor is shitty or starts to go out the pcm would think its -20 degrees and it will dump an assload of fuel and it probably wipe out your o2

What did you end up doing to fix this issue? My '02 WS6 just started doing this over the weekend...
