Default another problem

ok so i drove my car to lunch yesterday. (i've been storing it at work) and it ran a little rough so i went easy on it......it's been sitting there for the better part of 2 months i start it once or twice a week and i've driven it around a couple of times. but then it ran rough yesterday so i drove it home today and it ran like ****.....it's hesitating when i accelerate......it acts exactly like it would if the traction control was kicking in but i don't slow down as much.

it seemed to be idling fine until i got to about 5 blocks from my house there was a little unusualness in the idle and the CEL came on.

any ideas?

Theres so many things that can make it run like that. Take it to autozone and have the code checked. It`s free.
