It could mean hundreds of different things some of which could be serious. Read the trouble codes to find out where the problem is. Some parts stores will do this for free or you can purchase your own scan tool.

Take your car to Autozone. They'll pull the codes from your car's computer and they can tell you if you have a cylinder missing, a cat going out, or any other thing the computer is reading; then they can give you a list of steps to take to troubleshoot that problem.
