Help! Car dead?

ok so i was driving home 2 nights ago and i noticed that there was a vibration in the pedals while i was stopping for a light, then while at the light my exhaust started sounding like pop pop pop pop instead of the even rumble it usually has, as i get closer to home it barely had any power at all and the knock sensor on my PFC was going crazy any time id touch the gas (i was rolling between 25-40mph just trying to make it home) it would go from about 12-20 most of the time (much worse than normal) then all the sudden like 150... i checked the spark plugs and the leading plugs were totaly black and the front rotor's leading plug looked like it had some carbon buildup on it.... so i got new plugs this morning... put them in, didnt do a damn thing...
sounds like its running on 1 rotor... i guess it probably is.... any ideas?

Thanks,
-Kurt

I have a PFC but i put in my stock ECU to pull codes i got

30 Solenoid valve - split air bypass
34 Solenoid valve -idle speed control (BAC)
38 Solenoid valve - accelerated warmup system and air supply valve

i dono what things would be caused by the 4 cut wires for the PFC install but i dont think any of those sound like they would cause this problem either....

would they cause much of a problem? and do you know if its just because of the 4 cut wires for the PFC (i know the accelerated warmup system and air supply valve is d/c)
