TPS, vacuum leaks, any number of things. Check your TPS first, turn off the caps lock. Don't bother going over 8K, not only is it bad for the engine, but with the stock ports, your not gonna have any power up there.

Could be several things. Here is my list:
1. Check if the 5th-6th ports are stuck
2. Check if the cats are plugged.
3. Injector cleaner.
