Still looking

cruiser54- The wires look new enough... Im just going to have to roll with them... As i started looking around (O'reillys, Carquest) there were only 7mm available.

DFlintstone- Under light throttle, it behaves very well! Accelerates very smooth! Its only when you hammer the throttle in lower gears that it really cuts out!

clydesdale- Thanks for the codes list! I was going to have to go searching for the codes! Thanks for linking to it!

Ever pulled the distributor cap and had a gander around in there?

I would really check fuel pressure/filter first before getting into everything else. Sounds like classic "imminent fuel pump failure" or "Clogged Fuel Filter" symptoms to me. OBD codes can lead you on a lot of wild-goose chases as they are just reporting things out of the ordinary ranges from a sensor point of view. Think about Apollo 13-First reading was low pressure in the hydrogen tank. It didn't tell them: "Hey-you have a hole in the side of the spacecraft!. As Cruiser says-Noggin pokin' is required.
