Weird problem HELP!

So I have a 1988 4runner with a rebuilt 22re with approx 4k miles on it and around 240k miles on the chassis and tranny. Recently I changed the head gasket because a big leak. The only thing that went wrong during this operation was I forgot to drain the water jackets in the engine. I had #2 and #3 cylinder fill with water but I throughly cleaned them out. I adjusted the valves accordingly intake is at .10 and exhaust is .12 (that was recommended from the shop that rebuilt the motor). So now I will drive my truck around and only when I hit a dip or make a left turn my motor sputters until I'm not turning anymore. I have no clue what it is, I changed the fuel pump and fuel filter. I checked for vacuum leaks and there are none. I have 4 codes but I don't remember what they are off the top of my head but I will post them up when I get home. Any pointers will help. Thank you

My pointer is that you think through your question BEFORE you post. The codes are there for a reason. Look them up before you re-post and you may even have your answer!

Those were the codes but what it turned out to be was a loose o2 sensor. When those codes came up I checked everything the codes said but still nothing. I remembered that my o2 sensor was a little loose because I heard it rattling so I tightened it down and it solved the problem
