Possible causes:

I'll check over the grounds again, but i haven't had any other electrical problems.

- Weak alternator
Recently replaced and still pumping out 14.4v pretty regularly

- 5th & 6th ports getting stuck (I know you said that you're running them on the airpump, is it supplying enough pressure still?)
Pretty sure they're okay. I have checked to see if they're sticking, but my trouble starts well below when they should open anyways.

I'd tell you to check the injectors, but if they've been cleaned, thats probably not the case. It could also be a bad connection to the ECU, bad CAS, clogged Oil Injectors, etc.

If you run some premix in your next fill up, see if it improves. Do you have aftermarket gauges for water temp or oil temp?
I'll be able to check the car out a little more tomorrow. I'm finally over the plague.
