Was driving the car tonight trying to further break in my motor, when I started going up a slight hill....I stayed in 3rd gear rougly 40 mph then all of a sudden the car bucked once...

I thought I had a small hiccup with the gas going through the stock filter so I had the wifey hook up my 2g pocketlogger to see what was up....

Coasting down the other side car felt flawless....Turned the corner started hiccupping really bad, so I pulled over and the car shut off.....Before it shut off the CEL turned on and pocketlogger gave me the codes....

P005 and P2461

I thought I might have by accident ran out of gas.....(Previous owner installed overlays and removed the needles...and I filled the car up with fresh 93 before I ever took it out...So I guesstimated where the needle should go....)Well Got 5 gallons worth of 93 put in the tank...Cranks nice and smoothly but refuses to run...Timing sounds perfect yet, havent pulled the plugs either to see how the cylinders were firing...I'll save that for tomorrow...

I looked all though tuners and google and cant seem to find what those 2 CEL's mean somebody please help me :pray:

Did you mean P0050? I found that means Heater control circuit.
Can't find what p2461 means though. Try going to autozone, they will print out the trouble codes with the definitions.
 
On the logger it says P005 not exactly sure....I might have to run back out to the car and rehook everything up...but anyhow I've been lookin for the past 2 hours now and it's starting to annoy me that I can't find out the problem...

Well I know the reason the codes were weird...The CPS went out on me and made the ecu stop sending any codes thus giving me wrong/incomplete codes I guess...But replaced the CPs Car start runs drives now
