it could be..i have been getting a CEL for O2 for the past couple months. It was running fine so I never replaced it. Maybe it finally crapped out.

Bingo! Thats your problem...Your o2 sensor is starting to take a shit on you. I bet the CEL has been sporadic for the past months. Just replace it and you should be gold

Now why didn't you mention the CEL before Jon. haha

Also, if you don't get the car tuned it will more than likely ruin another sensor.

UPDATE:
I did replace the O2 sensor, but did nothing. It ended up being my missing link. I took it off and it runs fine. Also did a compression test on all 4 cylinders, 145 across the board. Still runs like a champ.

It would have been nice to know you had a missing link, those are notoriously unreliable..
