Default Strange idle - check engine light...help!

Hey,

This morning when I started my car (97 DX), it was shaking pretty bad, and then the check engine light kicked in when the idle returned to normal. What the heck could it be? It's never had this problem before, and I got about 69K miles on it...anyone have any ideas? I had to take the car to work and it would seem that everything was running fine. I even shut down the car and started it again, but I didn't get any repeat...I only have a short ram intake on the car too..

PS: Can I check this with the ECU/how do I do it, and where I can I find the ECU error codes? (I checked, I couldn't find it...)

T-X

my only guess would be the 02 sensor... the error codes are all over the net and in any repair manual. all you have to do is jump the ecu to flash the codes on the check engine light.
