Try a new O2 sensor? They are cheap enough. A sour O2 can cause lots of weird running problems, **but only when the engine is warm.

o2
Will I be able to tell visually if the o2 sensor is bad?
What are some side effects of a bad o2 sensor?
Where are these RPO Codes located on the car, will they be printed on a peice of metal or paper?
