I cranked up the engine again only for it to stall again within 10 seconds with the same symptoms (flickering instrument panel lights and parking brake light.) Does anybody have an idea of whats going on with the car?
That code is indeed for the driver's side Oxygen sensor (on an M60, anyway), but what you are describing is more than just the 02 sensor--it shouldn't stall out so much even with a bad sensor. I would check to make sure that your battery is okay first, and that the connections are tight. Then look around the intake area for any signs of leaks, etc. Pull the plugs too and see if any of them are inordinately discolored... We need more symptoms to help diagnose...
