After about 5 minutes of figuring out who I'm going to call to come get me I try it again and it starts right up. I'm only a few miles from home so I take it back with no further problems.
Most likely this is fractured solder in the path of the engine control relay on the RCM or a bad Engine Control Relay on the RCM. I'd pull it and send it to DJ and let him change the relay and go over the board's soldered connections.
I get home and pull codes. The only code is the P0410. I used to have this all the time but since I replaced the secondary air pump a few months back it's been fine.
Probably bad contact on the RCM in the SAI path - send it to DJ.
The final clue is that I can't erase the codes (I used to be able to with this reader). It lets me go through the steps and says they are erased. But when it is done the same code is still there.
No clue. I don't reset codes, they go away in a few days after a few drive cycles if the issue is cleared up. If they persist, you have not fixed your problem.
