I'd say do like firebane said and get a manual, but the most common things are either a clogged catalytic converter, or a bad EGR valve (usually just needs cleaning).

where could i get a manual? do any of you guys have one for sale? So is catalytic converter is clogged then i would need to replace o2 sensor? would an o2 sensor be the cause of this? How easy is it for egr valve to be fixed?
