^ Exactly, if you are mechanically inclined it may be a good idea to tear into it a little and start replacing the vacuum lines on the car. possibly even a tune up too. probably be less than 175 for a full tune up and vacuum lines. just remember have good diagrams or take pictures if you feel unsure!

The 03 codes also include o2 sensor if im not mistaken. Most likely a bad o2 sensor...
