I figured it out... after 4 days of sputtering all around, replacing spark plugs and wires (which needed it anyways) the guy that owned the car before me had mixed up the leading and trailing plugs :/// but anyways, I had my cats checked, they were fine.... so I decided to check anything that could trip the rpm limiter... My water pump was leaking and it triggered the "out of coolant" sensor, but not the buzzer.. I took care of the leaky pump and added more coolant, about a half hour of driving and PRESTO... back up and running full steam... I LOVE MY SEVEN!!!!!!!

 

Right on! Glad things worked out.
