Is it just coincidence?
I tried a stomp test for the first time today, no fault codes. About 30 minutes later the car started to hesitate terribly when trying to accelerate as though it was running out of gas. After pulling over at a gas station I did a stomp test, now it is showing 1221 (O2 sensor1). I put some fuel in and drove back to work, now my check engine light is on continuolsy however it seemed to run okay for those 4 miles back. Is this something related to the first stomp test or is it just coincidence?

Thanks, I'll try the reboot after work and let you know if anything changes. It figures everything is always fine until the day before a roadtrip.
Did the reboot last night, seems to be fine now in fact the looping idle I was getting sick of is now gone as well. Thanks for all of the help.

All you need to do is disconnect the battery for 5-10 minutes. That "shogun reboot" business is unnecessary. It's not going to hurt anything, but it's not going to accomplish anything that simply disconnecting the battery won't.
Thats what I did, I disconnected the battery and let it sit unhooked while I had dinner. I did'nt feel the need to short the system out.
