Tell us more. You pulled codes because.........?

How does it run?

How does it run at idle?

How does it run at higher speeds?

Does it lack power?

Last tuneup done?

Fuel filter been changed lately?

Compression OK?

Air filter last changed or checked...when?

Any unusual smoke out of the exhaust?
Cold smoke ? (first started AM)
running temp smoke?

Battery connections are good?

Does it happen based upon weather conditions?

If so what are the worst weather conditions to cause the problem?
