Urgent!!

So I was on my way to the dealership to get my truck looked at, and I pulled out on the road and my truck crapped out on me. I scanned it with my superchips and it throws the code (P0603 internal control mod KAM error) It will start up and idles ok for a few seconds then starts idling extremely rough and shakes violantly. what should I do!!

Getting the code read will help narrow it down ,,

If I had to guess ,,I might say under valve cover harness problem ...( if it is intermittant)...

If it runs good consistantly at start ,then gets to missing ,,may be one side shutting down from an injector solonoid ,,or maybe even the IDM ...

Need the code somehow..

You sure you didn't have a 1316 also ?...

Thats what My truck did when my IDM went out. Ran good for the first few secondes than ran like crp and died. They can be found on E-bay for 250 I belive with a lifetime warrenty. I second the code reading to help narrow it down.
