Any local garage can check and try to clear the codes. How fast the codes come back can help determine the problem. KSG mentioned checking the wires to the O2 sensors. Sometimes these wires rub against the body of the car and wear the insulation down.
If there is a slight vacuum leak, it will result in a "rich" condition, and I am a porponant of looking for cheap fixes first.
Get your codes read, cleared, and read again if the Lambda light comes back on right away to verify which code comes on first.

You can look up the code meaning yourself at:
