Anyone know what this problem can be?

I have received three different codes in the past 2 months and none of the same codes have popped up. The first one I received was P0455 which is a EVAP system large leak. That one I just got done getting gas about 1 day before so I pulled the gas cap off and put it back on. Then I deleted the code. About 150 miles I received another code P0102 which is MAF censor circuit low input. Which I deleted that code also. Then finally after about 700 mile I received another code which was P0661 which is SSV solenoid valve control circuit low. I since had checked the connections for the last code and it still hasn't popped back up after I drove it another 200 miles. Every time these codes have popped up it has been about 90 degrees out side and I also got the rpms up just a little above 5500 rpms and lost power each time like it just bogs down. But once I reset the code I have no problem for a few hundred miles. Anyone have a clue what is going on?

Could be a loose battery post causing those random readings -

It's too much of a coincidence that they both read a low voltage.......

I would't think that it would be a loose battery post because you don't need the battery for the car to keep running. I was kinda thinking that maybe it could be the alternator not throwing out enough volts, but still I should be getting a battery light instead of a check engine light.

If it was the alternator, your battery would be dead by now.

I have checked it and there was no corrosion build up and the cables were not loose.

I looked at the wiring harness and couldnt find anything wrong with it just by looking at it. I also havnt had a problem with the check engine light coming back on yet. I have been driving it like I stole it and still cant get that b**ch to pop back on. But as soon as I get it to come back up I am going to take it straight to Mazda for the loss of power.
