If the lamp is lit, there has to be a code. From your problem description, it appears that the engine has problems when the ECM goes into the closed loop mode. This most likely is the result of a sensor problem, but you need the trouble code to find the one that is causing trouble.

You will have to get the code. Here were I live the auto parts stores are more than happy to get the code for you. That is because they will usually sell a part.
