Actually that may account for the jumpyness of the car and the light. When you give it gas and the sensor was reading wrong it would allow more air into the engine without giving it more gas or vise a versa and it would correct momentarily(?sp). All sorts of things can happen when that sensor goes bad. I would say just replace it they can't be that expensive anyways.

That doesnt mean that the sensor isn't working, the computer is just telling you that the sensor's readings are not what they are supposed to be. I would try the Idle Air Controller, removing and cleaning. Also the code could be set from the additive you put in the gasoline. Try those simple tests before you start replacing parts.
