D16Y8's are known to have oil problems. It is possible you damaged the lower end if you were missing 2 quarts of oil. I experienced a similar issue with my y8. I was cruising down the highway and lost all power, turns out I spun two rod bearings and bent a rod. Prior to my mishap I thought I had a bad valve tick, but I actually had a rod knock.
Definitely pull the codes and go from there.

spun rod bearing = good time to swap in a b series. sorry bro, u may be effed. why would it be 2qts low man? any idea? did u change the oil last or did u get it changed? and why would u rev ur car to 7k? its not making any more power @ 7 than it would @ like 6250...
