Ya'll were right. It may be too early to call it but I think we solved it!!
Stillen makes a very high quality throttle position sensor extension that comes with their kit. The technology in this sensor is incredible. It's able to absorb heat and far beyond any cable I've ever come across.
Sarcasm aside, the sensor overheats and will start with false voltage readings and ultimately will cause the car to go into limp mode. This is why idle RPMs go wonky, random cuts in power will occur, and why the cars will go into limp mode.
Someone at Uprev had the same problems as me so they were able to fix it pretty easily. I can't believe this $40 cable and a $5 plastic elbow join cost me thousands in damages and repairs. Stillen told me the plastic peice wasn't covered under the warranty and when I contacted them about the TPS they said the warranty was only good for a year. Can't express how dissatisfied I am with Stillen.
I'll update again but I already can tell there's a massive difference driving it.
