2000 Explorer Check Engine Light

Bought used 2000 Explorer, Eddie Bauer, 51,000 miles about 6 weeks ago. About 2 weeks ago, car sat over weekend. On Monday, very rough getting it started as kept dying without pressing the gas. Finally got started but then check engine light came on. After getting more fuel the next day, light went off. Today, exact same scenario. Have purchased gas at same place since owning so I know it's not the gas. Any ideas?

Go get the codes and let us know so we can help diagnose the problem.

Rough starts in the morning could be caused by the IAC valve. I'm not 100% sure though.
