Take it to AutoZone and ask them to read the code, this should help you look for the correct repair. This could be as simple as removing the gas cap and re-fastening. Could be misfiring engine, could also be bad gas. Try filling up with premium for one tank. Without knowing the error code it is just shooting in the dark.
