Disconnect battery and wait a few minutes. Then reconnect and try.

When you say doesnt start, does it crank? Please be more descriptive so we can help you.
By codes, mean scan for codes in Ecm due to restricted performance.

RE: Help! my 99 wont go

lol....glad it is working. However, if the light comes back on, drive somewhere and get it scanned and try to not shut off the vehicle while light is on. Then post results of the codes that they pull and we will help identify fault.
Dealer, or somewhere like autozone will be best bet to get codes read. You may want to do it anyway just to be safe.
