Do a scan for unresolved fault codes, this can be a faulty idle control motor problem.

Have the computer scanned for code/s-you have a problem within the engine management system that caused the CEL to turn on-This is your starting point of diagnosis, finding out what's going on.

Update:
Ok so they told me its the oxygen sensor one front and one rear with parts, labor and tax the total cost will be $385.12
Is that to much? I went online and the parts where way cheaper and it looks pretty easy to do
