If you SES light is you should take it into the dealer. Don't reset it yourself or else the dealer won't be able to pull the error codes. It's most likely the engine coil problem most 2k's have experienced.

Take it to your local AutoZone and they'll pull the code(s) for free. Or pay $80 to have the dealer do it. If it runs great it's most likely a downstream O2 sensor fault which really doesn't hurt anything. There's a TSB covering it (replace O2 sensors and reflash the ECU).

They actually changed my catalytic converter after I experienced the same thing.
