most likely it's just an O2 sensor. You can pull the code by popping off the service plug cover (located on the passenger side of your radio, the front most peice of carpeting actually pops off). there's a blue rubber "holder" in there and a blue plug in it (2 wires) just jumper those and turn the car to ignition and watch what code flashs. every long blink is x10, and every short one is one (so 2 long and 5 short is 25)
