Provide us the actual code number and we can work from there:

1) Sit in the driver's seat.
2) Turn the ignition key to the ON position and wait three seconds. (Do not start the car.)
3) Fully depress and release the accelerator pedal five times in less than five seconds.
4) Wait exactly seven seconds. Fully depress the accelerator pedal for ten seconds until the MIL light flashes.
5) Release the accelerator pedal and start counting flashes to obtain the four-digit trouble code.

Long flashes (0.6 seconds) indicate the first digit of the code; count the blinks one through nine and write down the first digit. (Ten blinks indicates a zero.)
The next three digits follow in turn in the same fashion except with faster blinks (0.3 second) and a 1.0-second pause between digits.

The ECM code repeats intself until you turn the ignition key to the OFF position, at which point the ECM resets itself to standard get-in-and-drive-the-car mode.

well nevermind guys....... wow it was my gas cap, of all the things the seal of the gas cap was cracked & fuel pressure wasnt building & causing stall & flutters ... wow, well thank god it was a 10$ fix !!

me too i was about to let a mechanic work on my car, he thought it was oil getting into my pistons & wanted to replace the piston rings, 500$ it would have cost me & would have had the same damn problem even tho the guy was cool enough to say his work would be guaranteed 100% money back & just pay for parts but it would have been a waste of time..so good thing i went to another mechanic & told me right off what it was.

If it was you'd be burning furious amounts of oil to make it run that bad. Stay away from the first mechanic. lol.

well sad to say that my car is starting to burn more oil, i add a extra 1.5 QT atleast once a month, for the past yr or so also using royal purple since 05 just to let you know its not the cheap stuff. anyway maybe i need to replace gaskets very soon & think about doing my rings if that does happen to be one of the problems thats burning my oil quicker. ive yet to try oil additives, maybe on my next oil change in 2 weeks ill try one to see how good/long they help. any suggestions?

Might want to replace the cat and check to see if the butterfly screws came loose as well.. that generation motor was known for that to happen.
