check engine light on, and wierd sound at WOT

my check engine light is on, and the intake does not sound smooth as it use to be, now there is a wierd sound at wide open throttle, maybe at 5-9k rmp, i took it to autozone so that they can check out the check engine light, but when they hooked it up, the scanner said something about not beeing able too link or something like that, so they could not help me with that, i kind of noticed that change about 2 dayst after i installed an enige ground kit and a voltage stabilizer, anyone know what might be wrong??
