When mine went the starter spun but it never turned over. As for your O2 sensors, I don;t know of a way to test them on your own, nor do I have any info on what kind of reading they should put out. When I got a 51 (fuel system lean) my service writer told me it could be an O2 sensor and that I wouldnt necessarily get the code. I went ahead and bit the bullet and replaced both, and my code went away. A bad O2 sensor will cause your car to bog down, and my car's performance did suck when that was going on. If it has been 35K+ miles since one or both were last replaced I would go for both. Expensive yes, but worth it in the end if you look at how much gas you eat up. Code 12 means nothing, its more of an FYI code to let you know the battery or power to the PCM has been cut at some point in the last 50 key cycles.
