I've had a rough idle, pinging on a cold engine, and worsening gas mileage since I changed my air filter. I checked it out today and found a hose that was supposed to be connected to the intake boot after the MAF had come out. I put it back in and zip tied it to hold it tight. I also went through the MAF cleaning procedure detailed on this site. I put my code reader on and found no codes. Just for the heck of it I pulled the plug on the MAF to see how it would run and I threw a DTC. I cleared the DTC and ever since I can't rev the engine past 3K while in park or neutral. It acts like it bouncing off a rev limiter. If I'm driving it revs normally. However, I just came back from driving it and it started running bad so I pulled over. I couldn't rev the engine past about 1200 rpm without it feeling like it bouncing off a rev limiter. I turned off the engine and cranked it again and now it's back to bouncing at 3K. Any ideas???
