Read the whole article then start with the cheap stuff- a vacuum tester from Harbor Freight and rubber hose from Ace Hardware. If no intake leak, move on to CRC Mass Air Flow cleaner and put it back it correctly. Buy/borrow a cheap OBDII scanner that can clear codes. If you have a bad upstream O2 sensor, order from RockAuto.com, cheapest place around. If it's the O2 you will need to borrow an O2 installer kit from AutoZone or similar store. Of course you've already changed your air filter, yes?
Good luck on your repair!
Also, ck your code on YT. Super helpful for diy videos.
