you take it to a shop and have maintenance done on it, no I'm not being a smart alek either. its pretty much telling you that its probloby time for a tune up, depending if you've gone at least 60k miles on it. If your not up to 60k miles, there is more then likely something wrong with your oxygen sensor or otherwise. Check around who will do free computer checks on your vehicle, they will run a quick scan and see what the prb is.
