check your vaccuum lines and make sure they are all plugged in.

take the car up to your local AutoZone. they'll check the codes for free. otherwise under the hood, driver side by the fire wall is your diagnosic port, use a paper clip and connectthe gnd and the ten pins, count the flashes, long then quick for two digit codes only quick for single diget codes, post them and we can tell you what it means
