are you getting the limp mode after driving/on a dyno? I had the same issue but it was because I was missing the plate that blocks the direct airflow to the air filters. The MAF's are so close to the filters that is causes them to read two different numbers causing the engine to go into that limp mode for me. I was able to dignose the problem using a high speed fan on a dyno and seeing the air fuel jump all over the place when not under load. it basically creates a ram air effect when you are driving pushing air to the engine when the engine is not under load (ie crusing) and makes the car believe something is wrong. I fixed the problem by making a air box out of a piece of aluminium from lowes to prevent direct air contact with the bottom filter.

nope, Seems like no one can fix it, Maybe I should just get rid of the car,
The more and more I dig into this the more PO'd I get, If I ship it its gonna cost me $800 round trip, Plus what every its going to cost me to fix the issue.
