Sounds like limp mode caused by a bad oil metering pump

lol, there are two white electrical connectors, 1 3 wire, and 1 6 wire on the passenger side of the alternator, follow those connectors down and that is the oil metering pump

Do I hear Crickets?

The Oil Metering Pump (OMP) pumps oil through the oil injectors into the combustion chamber to lubricate the Apex seals. If it's gone bad I highly recommend you do a search on premixing.
