SES, EML, No Codes !?!

Tried search but didn't see this problem addressed yet. Occasionally when putting a load on the car, I get an SES, EML and brief engine stall. If I let it just roll for a few seconds the engine recovers, both lights go out and we are on our merry way. Been driving with the Code Reader hooked up for a few weeks now and the car is not throwing a code either after the fact or real time during the 4-5 seconds when the lights are on. Every problem I can think of should have a code associated. Thought it might have been bad gas, but still happening after several tanks. Seems to improve somewhat (less frequent) after reaching normal operating temps.

In case my Signature is gone: 2004 S, pulley, intake, exhaust, ecu.

Thanks in advance,

Tony

Finally broke down and took Rodan to the Dealership before I did any damage. Vibration damper had come apart, apparently and somehow caused the symptoms I was having and with no codes. Wierd. Anyway, $700+ later I'm back on the road.

Next question: Does anyone else think that 125 miles of "testing" by the service department is a bit excessive?
