Compared to what? Mileage? Last tune up? Did this just start happening? You need to provide more info in order for us to assist you.

That's a pretty generic code, and could mean all sorts of things.... Usually, there will be another code along with it, that points to what the actual problem is. If you don't have another code, reset codes, go for a drive. See if the code immediately resets.
