Not sure why no one has commented yet... check the most obvious thing first.... Boost Sensor (btw the intake elbow and the fire wall). Make sure it's plugged in and that the vaccum hose is connected. Pull the check engine code to see what that is indicating.

Yep, stock harnesses are not cheap.
And before your ! key breaks on your keyboard, you should get it fixed. If the harness is bad then that pretty much needs replaced.
You can find the ECU code procedure in the Factory Service Manual (check the FSM sticky thread) and somewhere in the FAQ (also a sticky thread). Keep using the stickies.

It's obvious your car is in "limp home" mode for some reason. Checking the Code should tell you why. Then you can narrow it down to a small subsystem to troubleshoot.
