ask the person who read the code to give you the NUMBER of the code. then type that number in a response here. if you do any other posting before doing that one simple thing I will delete it.
get the number from the guy and post it here.

That is the laziest excuse ever. Mobile phones have punctuation and even spell check. Why do you expect everyone else to take time out of their day to help you, when you won't even take the time to write cohesive sentences WHICH WILL HELP OTHERS help you???
Doh! My apologies.

Your grammar is atrocious. I usually post via my mobile phone and am still able to articulate my thoughts coherently, elegantly even. It's not difficult.
Perhaps you should consider that your secondary injectors are either clogged or are beginning to deteriorate. An overdose of any additive (such as you have done, I gather, from your original claim) may be to blame for your described symptoms. Contaminated fuel such as is possible from old filling station storage tanks could also be the culprit. These, or any combination there of, are for you to determine on your own as we can only posit possible causes without inspecting your vehicle personally. As you seem woefully unqualified to even diagnose your own symptoms (I will assume that you are even less qualified to perform the necessary repairs upon an accurate diagnosis) , my recommendation for you is to take it to a professional, qualified mechanic as soon as possible.
P.S.

p0410 is the air pump.
Since it is just an emission system your problem is most likely unrelated to this.
Just get a compression test done, test your coils and inspect your cat.
The SSV shouldn't even rattle, just open\close.
Since you were a car mechanic for 3 years you should be able to do the last 3 tasks (coil test, cat inspection, ssv cleaning). Go to a rotary specialist that has a compression tester and be ready to pay for a new engine.

It is the repeated mentioning of "6,000 rpm" which leads me to suspect that the issue is, at least partially, due to clogged secondary injectors as at 6,000 rpm is when they come into play (someone correct me if I am wrong).
A rattling ssv sounds fishy as well.
Also, if you are not doing so already, use the highest octane fuel available (do not use additives to increase octane).
Out of curiosity DJSensation, what, may I ask, was your area of expertise as a mechanic?

6k rpm is also the lower rpm limit when the car is cold or the car THINKS its cold. and he also started out by saying ti would rev to 7500. so the issue is expanding(worsening)

You could start doing all the things we've suggested so far, and that would be a big help to us.
Things recommended so far:
Test / Replace ignition coils.
Test / replace spark plug wires.
Test / Replace Spark Plugs.
Remove / Inspect catalytic convertor.
Test / Remove / Clean / Reinstall SSV valve.
Compression Test.
BC.
