Unhappy SES, DSC, EML lights come on

When I start my car, the SES and DSC lights come on and stay on. Sometimes my car will stall even in neutral. When I drive, the car will violently buck once the RPM's get around 2-3k in any gear. Eventually, the EML light will come on and the throttle will stop responding. The only way to get the throttle to respond again is to shut off the car and then turn it back on - This is not safe to do on the highway going 70mph which I have had to do several times.

Anyone have any idea as to what is causing this?

And, what exactly does "EML" stand for?

My car is a '03 MCS w/ 15% pulley and Alta CAI. The car worked fine and never had this problem until I got it back from being repaired after an accident. I have taken it back once to get the problem fixed, they said they fixed it and it turns out they had not. I am taking the car in tomarrow, but I would like to get a better understanding of what the possible issue is.

Thanks for all your help in advance!
