Depends what model you have, search on here, loads of threads about how to check codes.

Could be a number of things, knacked idle control valve or MAF for starters, of maybe just something simple like a plug loose.

If CEL came on there is a pretty good chance it's easily diagnosed.

Seriously, MAF has broken, or ICSV hose has popped off, or it's more serious.
