Default Acts like it has a 2000 rpm rev limiter and dies at idle

I have a 2001 SS with a TNT 100 wet shot. When spraying, I hit 3rd gear and the car lost all power and then wouldn't go over 2000 rpm. It was lurching like I was hitting and letting off the gas real fast. I turned it off and back on and it was fine. On the way home, sitting at a red light the car just died. It restarted and had no power like it was running out of gas. I let it sit for a minute, restarted it and it was fine. Then it died again a couple of miles later and did the same thing. No codes popped up. I went to emissions the other day and he said the car wasn't responding like I had unhooked the battery recently but the battery has been good. He asked if it had been chipped and I said no. At that time the car started to sputter and died right in the emissions lane. Any insight is appreciated. Thanks

LOL My wife's blown H2 had this problem yesterday. She had been driving about 4 hours in the mountains, gets home and tells me she's having problems. I took it for a drive and it had the exact same issue as you. I let it cool down for a couple hours, and it was fine.

Check your MAF screen and wires, make sure you did not blow them out.
