Post your results here and someone should help, but for proper diagnosis of fault codes you will need a factory service manual and some basic test equipment.

What a great link. It's like "Code Reading for Dummies", and is now in my reference binder.

I agree you need to do some investigating and these guys have given you a good start. If I had to take a SWAG just by what you have said, I'd start with a fuel issue - changed the filter lately? Is the fuel pump running OK and how old is it?
