What engine? How many miles? Have you done any basic checks yet? Is the air filter clean? Tune up? Without some specifics of your vehicle it's kinda hard to offer advice.

There is a list of things that comes to mind. What codes did you have and what codes do you still have? Could be as simple as a bad coil or as a jumped timing chain and about 50 things in between based on your current description.
