You can try this..............turn the key on(don't start it), then tap the brakes about twenty times real quick while watching the oil temp guage. When it sweeps to the right and back to the left, then you are done. Turn car off and then start it.
If that doesn't work then you need to go read the code. Autozone will read it for free.

This happened to me a month ago, I had to have the plugs and coils changed and that fixed the problem somewhat. Now the car is idling rough and it feels down on power.
