Autozone will pull the code for free (just take it to the dealer). You probably have a P1491 or P0401. Take it to the dealer for the warranty extension on the EGR system. They will replace the EGR valve and drill a larger passage in your intake.
If it doesn't have the EGR code, it could have a tranny code. There is a warranty extension on the transmission, too.
The next mostly likely cause is an EVAP code (P1457, P1456). The bypass solenoid is a common failure...
