Please help!!!

Starting another thread that links to your original one makes it even more confusing for someone that might want to help, particularly when the original thread is only a few down from this one. Did you do what one member suggested and install the CPS and report back? Relax. Sometimes it takes a while. It's the weekend and I'm sure people are doing their own thing. Let it marinate a bit eh?
 
Did the code go away? Did you clean the CPS connector well.
The easiest way to test plug cables and the ignition in general is to get a timing light. Forget about timing, what you want to do is hook the timing light pickup to each plug wire one at a time, point it at a dark spot and watch and see if the light misses a pulse or blinks erratically.
The coil to cap wire is harder to see, it blinks really fast.
It's possible to have the bolts hang in the mounting holes for the CPS and for the CPS not to seat completely.
It's also possible for the flex plate bolts to come loose (or the flex plate to crack). If the flex plate wobbles, you will get erratic pulses. But this is rare.
The first thing I check, for a low RPM miss, is the cap and rotor. Then the plug and coil to cap wire.
Unhook your battery for awhile and then take it for a test drive. Try to pick a road where you don't have a lot of stop and go and you can drive at a fairly constant speed (between 30-40 MPH), until the computer relearns. It doesn't take long, but the motor needs to make it to operating temp.
