Could be tripping past 4.7v at wot. Open the idle adjustment screw slightly or put a little epoxy or something on the throttle stop, or just slightly bend the throttle shaft where it hits the throttle stop so that is doesn't go quite as far. Obviously it's close, otherwise it would set the code all the time. What's probably happening is that the throttle is opening a touch too far (the throttle shafts vary so it's tough to get the throttle stop perfect all the time).

Use a voltmeter to determine how far back the throttle is going. Jantzer may have grinded down the bump stop too much. You can use some expoxy or JB Weld to fix it.
