Yes , you need to get it changed soon.
shop around a bit for a reasonable shop.
But get it soon..
Engine may start misfiring and blow a piston

I'd get it into a shop immediately if you don't want to do the work yourself. I got stranded in my Dakota once when a cam position sensor went out on me. Glad I was close to a shop. I'd also invest in a scanner, I'd never let any check engine light go without at least getting the code right away.
