hmm not quite sure at the moment. But i would advise not to just throw parts at it in the future. Always make sure to find out the problem before you start buying parts for it.

what year is your pony, because mine is doing the same exact thing and i have already replaced 2 of my o2 sensors...also how much did the Alt cost you to get replaced...

i think you should play it safe and check your o2 sensors first, because i had just so happened to have one of mine disconnected...and i have been getting the same errors also....

How would u go around to check something like that? I have a decent understanding of cars due to my high school auto class but i dont recall anything about checking O2 senors. Also can anybody let me know what kind of shift kit i could buy for my import killer and roughly how much i am likely to spend?

put ur car on a lift and check to exhaust piping for these wierd looking plugs before and after your cat...Also get a fluke or multimeter and your haynes manual and plug up the voltage on your o2 sensor and just run some simple checks...It took my about 30 minutes to get to the ones right after the headers on my 00, Rating on pain in the A** level out of a 10 was an 9....
