The 2500 limit sounds like some kind of "limp" mode, but I can't say why it would only last 30 minutes. Was it acting strange before? Any mods?

Airfilter? u mean the intake kit ?

if I were you I think I will remove it before I tow it to Mazda, just in case they want to blame your intake for all the commotions.
