As Seth says, the code is necessary to really know.

How serious is it? As long as it runs okay, you can drive it around town as
much as you want without worrying. There is a chance it is now running rich
enough to damage the catalytic converter if you push it hard for long, so
you want to avoid full highway speeds until you either find out what the
code is or at least determine the fuel consumption is fairly normal.
