Go to autozone or some auto parts store and check the code yourself with the scanner, they are free to use.

Wonder if its stale gas and your sensors in the exhaust are slowing it down? a couple months shouldnt make it go stale though. COuld in some instances i suppose

How much gas did you have it in when you left? A month is not that bad....really. Maybe your wife pulled some sort of Ferris Bueller move on you when you were gone.

Don't know until you check the code and see what you are throwing.

Squeaking brakes
