Cutting out... Check engine light came on... power valves sticking maybe? New plugs, new gas... put a new throttle on a few days ago but dont think its that. Anyone have had this issue?

check pipe sensor, bad wires or burned out lots of weird issues.
shorts in your wiring wires under gas tank /
put in new throttle, make sure correct slack in throttle cable and your FI butterflied not hung up

I would check to make sure you have the throttle cable set right. From the service manual:

Adjust the throttle cable tension by turning the jam
nuts in the appropriate direction until there is 0.75-
1.5 mm (0.030-0.060 in.) free-play in the throttle
lever and the butterfly completely opens and
closes. Tighten the jam nuts securely.
