Very likely your AFM signal could be bad. I've had that happen to me twice, the first time the AFM crapped out and the second time (yesterday ironically) when a couple wires on the plug broke. Any time I gave it more than a hair of gas, it would be like the fuel cut off, and I couldn't nudge it past 4.5k in neutral without it kicking and sputtering into an rpm wall.

Doubt it's your TPS sensor, otherwise you'd be fine with wide open throttle.

also me and a friend were tinkering with it one day and it looked like there were a could air piston things werent opening or something and we covered the intake with a folgers lid and pojed a few holes into it and it started running just fine... and also if we sprayed either or carb cleaner into it, it would rev up easily...
