Wow. You revived this thread with your posted problem. Then said you would check back with the codes.
So, we waited to help out and the above is your answer ?
Not the way to be on a forum.

sorry, i didn't think anyone was listening, or didn't see the post since it was an old post. thought i was talking to myself.

anyway. didn't check codes until today (wet and bitter weather for a few days-didn't realize how easy it would be to hookup) however-no codes

has run ok since.
perused dozens of topics in archives.
not many real solutions. lots of attempts.
sent an email to another member-she found water from a clogged sunroof drain caused wet wires somewhere-after 4 dealers and 4 independents. i dont have a sunroof, and was dry weather for me.

other opinions:
connector in left kickpanel-loose or wet.
connector pin at throttle body
wires rubbing-chafing under hood-a TSB somewhere
fusebox connection
oil reminder not reset for awhile (i think this was my problem)
bad battery

thanks for the followup.

i will keep looking-checking

I ran into the same problem, after weeks of looking for the problem I found a small piece of paper towel on th MAF sensor. I thought no way that could be the problem. I cleaned it before putting it back in. Cleared the code, it started right up, took it for a test drive and it ran like a cat with turpentine rubbed on its butt.
