Default please help... car is possesed

ok i have a 98 6 speed car. at work today it was idoling fine then it just died. it took it a few trys to get it to fire back up. while getting on the bypass the car bucked realy hard 5 or 6 times and the ac started blowing hot. while going down the bypass the temp gauge started bouncing around and following the tach needle, and the motor would hang around 2k rpm untill i pushed the clutch in kinda like cruise control was set but it wasent. it bucked a few more times on the way home and then it died as soon as i pulled in the driveway. i have checked the codes and there is only a 02 sensor code and a code saying that the cel bulb is blown or missing. i have cleaned all of the grounds and checked the ecu for acid damage. it has done this bucking, oil gauge thing once in the past but it did it for a min or two then went away, thats when i cleaned all of the grounds. i realy need some input. i have tryed searching with no luck........ please help, i cant stand to see my baby like this

i just put a gauge on it. on prime it was at 50 and held. while running it was close to 60. i went to drive out of the neighbor hood and it died as soon as the temp gauge droped to ice cold.luckily i still had the gauge screwed on so i instantly poped the hood and the fuel press was in the 50 ballpark but the car was still turning over but not starting. took about 6 key cycles while holding the pedel for it to finaly start. the codes are like i said above. a p0154 and a p0650.
