Check fuel pressure. Check the basic tune up things like pulgs, wires, cap, rotor, etc...

Just because a code comes up saying something, doesnt mean that that part is bad. EX: Oxygen Sensor lean code does not mean the oxygen sensor is bad.

Could be any number of things, a coolant temp sensor comes to mind also.
