Yes, you will have to get a custom tuned chip, if it's flashing codes I would wait untill you correct the problem untill you drive it again, some companys also make things that plug in to make it stop flashing codes and to make the check engine light go off, but I don't think that will correct the problem, you need to address this problem asap!

Either a custom tuned chip or MIL eliminators are needed with an H/X or long tube headers. Both modifications throw off the O2 reading the computer gets.
