HELP....engine sounds like it is dying
The past few times I have taken my car out it has been doing something very strange that it has never done before. While I am driving usually at a lower RPM or when a decellerate the engine sounds like it is quitting and the car jerks and hesitates and then keeps moving. I have a few ideas of what it could be, some of which are easy fixes and others could be expensive. However, I would like other suggestions/opinions on what the problem might be and how I might trouble shoot the problem. My car is heavily modified and this is the first time I have ever had any troubles with it. Although I have been getting the following code for a long time....
P0410 AIR System, it also has an H and C after it. I still have no idea what it means. I usually just clear it and it does not come back for several weeks but not this time, it keeps coming back.
Any and all input and/or suggestions are welcome.
PS...I am also posting this is scan and tune section

I recently had a problem where I was having trouble idling and cruising with little to no throttle input. I though I was having major problems. Popped open the hood to start the checkout. I was surprised to see the airfilter had become loose had fallen down to the opening of the Vortex airbbox. 
Check for any leaks in the intake track, that would be the first thing to do.

That was my first thoughts also "AIR LEAKS" Check each fitting and make sure that they are tight!
Also check the passengers foot well area and the area around the fuse box and see if it is wet. If it is wet the BCM is having issues and will go SOUTH soon if you do not solve the source of the moisture!
Are there any codes or weird dash problems when the problem first happens?
