maybe got a bad sensor. i have a dodge dakota that did the same thing. i replaced the sensor, and had to warranty it again a little bit later. it has been fine since.

i figured it out.....duuu.....you have to disconnect battery to reset memory of computer....sounds silly but it worked, put about 150 miles on it since...no check engine light since.....

it may not do it again for a while, but i am guessing it probably will eventually.
