No leaks, but think we found the problem while checking for leaks. If you pop the hood, put the car in the on position but don't crank it, can you hear a whinning noise coming from the motor that controls the throttle body plate? Also does the plate open and close equal to pedal movement? Mine makes whinning noise that I haven't noticed coming from it before and doesn't follow motion equal to the pedal, I think the throttle plate motor is messed up, and is on its way to being dead.

Is it possible the Rev limiter is broken?

The same thing happens when you rev to 10.5k

No, the problem has already been solved. I hate it when people post w/o reading a thread.

Glad you didn't blow the motor. Didn't you switch your cat also?

I wouldn't go back to that shop for tuning or installations. Can't believe they didn't figure out it was an erased map!
