Welcome aboard. We had someone else around who had something similar, I'll see if I can dig up the thread for you.Sounds like it is running too cold... I would start with checking into the thermostat, could be stuck open, not allowing the engine to warm up to where it needs to. Wouldn't be a bad idea to get a coolant flush while you're at it. What year, engine, and mileage do you have?

Yep, here you go - same code and everything. Maybe that will help.
