I was ilke crap, so i'm barely driving up the roads at school, and they are at a steep incline and my car starts stuttering, and it's bad. My friend thought i was ****in around by slamming on the gas and releasing but i wasn.t The car stalled out twice before i could park. CEL is still on and i tried calling RRm but they're closed

Before you reset the ECU, it would be wise to pull the code or codes. Call me crazy, but with those codes, we maybe able to diagnose your cars problem.

check your plug wires and vacuum lines, sounds like either a vacuum leak or a missing cylinder.

Yeah just letting you guys know, after class i had doublechecked all my wires, and they seemed fine, i didn't have any kind of tape on the exposed wires i sodered together so slight chance that two of the wires could've touched and messed something up.
But i did reset my ECU, and my car worked fine after that. No more CEL , and it actually ran a little better than like the past few days. So i dont know what's going o n there, i'm going to contact RRM to see if they could give me an ideas what went wrong, But thanks for your help guys
