I was running the car on the freeway kinda hard....(My Fault).

I start Loosing Power and notice a Vibration in the Pedal(Gas). Car Start running really badly..(I was low on gas too, but then got gas and problem still persisted.) It sound/feels like a "flutter" of Sort...as if The motor is Missing, or Pinging...Theres hesitation and a slight jerking of the car when gas is applied.

I Let it sit overnight, and turned it on...No more problem...I ran some codes and got:
21, 52 - 33, 66
Later tonight, I warmed the SHO up and drove about 2 miles. Let it sit for 30 minutes, and drove back home, on the way home the same problem re-occured. I let it sit for 2-3 Hours and the problem was still happening...so I just finished cleaning the MAF out completley..Cleared the Codes by Disconnecting the Battery(-), and Turned it on to have the same problem. I drove around for 5 minutes..came home and ran the Codes again, now I got this:

52 on "run" position..

Testing with the SHO running:
25, 52, 73(I didnt apply the Throttle Enough)

I also get a Wierd Noise that Inconsistent from behind the motor, and almost from the Exhuast. I cannot pin-point it due to my car being lowered. A slight Ticking if you may.

I also Did the Cylinder Test, and The Code was 9(All Is good).

Could I be pinging or Missing? As I stated, I Floor the Gas in 1st(for example), and get a fluttery hesitation, and a loss of power, it still Revs but slower than usual and with less power. ANY Suggestions? I need my SHO running ASAP... :cry: Please Help. :oogle:

If you find out, let me know.. That sounds a lot like the problem I am having with my '92. I've replaced plugs, wires, coil pack, DIS, CID, and the computer... as well as check grounds, and I still have the problem. I'll be checking the injectors next... possible CPS.
