Could be a random misfire..... oftentimes those can go unnoticed to the driver but the PCM picks 'em up. How new are your plugs, wires, and coil packs. On the other hand it could be anything related to either one of your O2 sensors...... Well, actually, it could be ANYTHING (of course). I'm just thinking of some of the more common problems.

Why don't you just go to Autozone and get it scanned for free?

Mine is on, and it is due to the MAP Sensor and/orEGR valve. I notice no difference in performance. The only thing might be poor gas mileage, but that could also be due to having a remote start and low tolerance for cold weather...

AutoZone should be open today, BTW....
