Unfortunately as you know OBDII cars have continuous codes...but OBDI does not. OBDI only recognizes on demand codes, you can drive it and be lucky to get a code with the engine still running, once you shut off the key the code goes away. If i were you, i'd wait till it comes on again and try and get the code immediately. Chances are some sensor went out of range for a moment or stuck out of range and it set the code and the computer reset after you turned the key off.
I'm sorry, but that is 100% incorrect.

The continous codes are stored for between 75 and 100 ignition cycles.

Take care,
