Is there a limit to how many items/data you can store in a session?
It seems my script doesn't store certain variables when they should be. Maybe i have too much information in them?

Are you referring to a PHP session or the CI default "session" object. If you are referring to the default CI session it is stored in browser cookies so the CI user guide page says:
Cookies can only hold 4KB of data, so be careful not to exceed the capacity.
I would recommend moving to a $_SESSION or a database session. Looks like CI 2.0 now supports sessions stored in the DB. I integrated the PHP session into my application fairly easily:
