Exclamation backfires and shuts down under acceleration

I have a 2000 camaro SS that has heads cam intake and exhaust on. After I replaced my clutch and flywheel and installed SLP headers and Y-pipe. After the install my gauges would reset under acceleration. Now after 6 months the gauges will reset and it will stumble backfire and shut the motor off under and kind of acceleration other than normal. It shows a code for mass air flow and both knock sensors. I had to wrap the y-pipe to keep it from bumping under the car and that helped for a while. Any suggestions would help!

I would start with checking the wiring harness for a pinched or burnt wire somewhere.

Yeah I thought that might be the case. Im going to try and get it on a lift thursday and pull the exhaust and rear trans mount to get to the harness at the back of the motor. Thanks for the input brother.
