I will try to do my best at not being long winded while stile providing all the information at the same time, so here it goes....

A few days ago I was drinving down the road at about 55ish when my engine just shut down. I was flooring it and it was just pooping out so I pulled over. I unplugged the DIS and replugged it in, everything was cool for a few days.

Then the other day it started to surge and act weird so once again i pulled off the road, disconnected the DIS and she ran fine again.

Today after work I pulled the codes. Here are my results: 114, 176, 212, 219, 542, and 538

Now, background. When I bought the car I had a buttload of codes. I replaced the O2 sensors and reset the memory. Everything went to 111 and stayed that way everytie I ran codes. (The last time was about a month and a half ago) Anyway, what I'm getting at is that last time I had a bunch of codes show up that were not really there but were showing up because the O2 sensors were screwed up. These O2 sensors now have only about 6k on them, so I dont/wouldn't think they were the issue. At least I hope not.

Any ideas/insite is appreciated. :hail: in advance.

I would start by checking the Grounds for the DIS, and fuel pressure. It sounds like you could have a fuel pump problem.

114 - Ignore. ACT out of range. Just means its cold.
176 - O2 code
212 - SPOUT circuit (sometimes indicative of a bad DIS ground)
219 - SPOUT again
538 - Operator/Ignore
542 - Car stalled.

Thanks, I'll look there first. I'm worried about the O2 code though, I just replaced those effers and I would be mad if they were bad already.
