Default Help please!!

Started my vette today and the check engine light came on. Took it to o'reilly and they scanned it and said it was something in the left bank and reset it. I drove it around for a half hour or so and went to park it and the horn started blaring. So I turned it off and it wouldn't restart. Engine wouldn't turn over but all electronics where fine. I came inside called the auto part store and told them what happened and then came back out and it fired right up. Drive it back to the auto part store and had the battery checked. It's fine. So drove it back to the house and pulled it in the garage and the check engine light came back on. Runs perfectly. Help please I'm frustrated.

You'll need to get the error code # and post it here in order for us to be any help. "Something in the left bank" and the fact that it runs OK suggests the oxygen sensor but it could be a number of other things.

Error code number should start with the letter P and have 4 digits.
