Default Problematic CEL relating to primary O2

On Saturday just gone I had a temporary issue where when pulling away the car was labouring and almost stalling, at this point I had no engine management light on. I stopped for a moment to check I was actually in the right gear, let it idle for a couple of minutes and tried again. It been fine since.

Tonight after being parked for a couple of hours, the engine management light came on after a little while.

The only symptom I'm getting is the car is almost stalling at idle, even when warmed up. I'm guessing this points to a sensor but I'm not sure which?

Has anyone got any suggestions?

Everyone that has an S2000 should have an OBD II Code Reader .... and know how to use it.

I had a brainwave, there's someone local (like one street over) to me who has one!

Hopefully it's nothing serious as I have no choice but to drive my car as I need it for work.

If it's not flashing, you should be ok. Just don't hammer it in case.

Will it clear once the sensor (assuming its that) has been replaced?

Does anyone use a bluetooth OBD2 reader with Torque? eBay is full of millions of them.
