DJ, maybe if you ask for a solution to your problem in the sub forum of your native tongue, they maybe able to advise you, because seriously, as Steve says, I also couldnt understand a fookin thing you wrote.

Plugged cat I think. Possibly seals failing. If it is the car, seals are not far from failing if you keep driving it with a plugged cat.

Clearly its NOT dubstep I was obviously joking. Whatever it was the simple fact that it was in the background made that video pretty funny. If you ask me I thought it sounded like shitty **** music.

Yes, that's the best idea you've had so far.

It solves your problems with having issues with a car you can't figure out.
And it solves our problem of trying to figure out what you're saying, and yet not getting anywhere because you don't describe things properly, nor do you follow the instructions we give.

Win win.

Get on it.

BC.

You're in way over your head with this car. Cut your losses.

Dj, on a serious note, drop the cat away from the engine pipe, start your engine and allow it to warm, will it now rev past 6k ? If it does, problem solved.

Why don't you tell us the code?
Moreover, why would you start with something that doesn't throw a code?
