Ess14 is an unknown quantity at this point
Heres what I did and now I can't rev past 4k

Edit - Problem fixed if you have similar problem read my 3rd or 4th post.

There are tons of threads like this one all with different diagnosis because no one really knows why it happened.
Well my car was running decent till today it won't go past 4k.
It is probably my MAFS, but anyways.

Today I was using CRC Intake/throtle body cleaner, I removed my intake clamps and sprayed a good amount down there, and sprayed some down the throttle butterfly.

I also removed my MAFS and I have read don't F with the two very thin wires. Well I touched one and it moved VERY VERY SLIGHTLY. Enough to see and then I didn't touch it anymore, the connection is still intact. I also think I got some CRC cleaner onto the wire connection.

I drove and it won't rev past 4000.
I can slowly make my way up to 4000 and at 4000 i guess it is similar to what a rev limiter feels like, it basically cuts my fuel if i go above it so i start sputtering, even if i go really light on the throttle.
If I WOT it, sometimes it won't make it to 4k before it sputters (like 3.5k i guess)

I don't think that the tiny little alteration in the wire will cause this but maybe it would if that wire got wet, would drying it out help at all or is this MAFS fucked?

And if it is... lol... I'd be WTB a new MAFS if anyone has one (z32?)
