It's probably the weather. My '00 FRC has been throwing codes over the past two weeks since it has been consistently cold. I've been getting the PCM 1431 code. And of course my tire pressure is suffering. I dumped a can of Seafoam in the tank today and the 1431 code hasn't been back. I drive 45 minutes each way to work and usually get the code before I make it to work or back home at least once. After the Seafoam I made it home without the code. I also cleared a few RFA codes. It was cold so I didn't write them down. I just got rolling so I could get the heat going.
I guess all you can do is monitor it to see if it returns.
Good luck and stay warm.
