Pushy Pushy

Driving down the road in my 97 silverado I can take my foot off the gas and maintain my speed for miles. For some reason the engine wont slow down.
When I apply the brakes the engine rpm's decrease (under load), but when I approach a stop sign (in the snow) my front tires stop but my back tires are still pushing. It has caused some hairy situations trying to get stopped.
The only way I can stop is to drop the transmission into neutral at which point the rpm's go up to about 20k.

I dont know how to adjust the engine idle, but I have lubricated the throttle linkage.
I currently have a check engine message on the dash but no way of knowing what the codes are if I even knew how to check them.

Is there a cheap code tool of some kind out there?
Is there any place I can get the code information?

Help guys, I'm slipping.
