Default Do i have a broken cam or a bad TPS?

Ok, so i can drive normally with no problems, but once i get on it, and it gets to around 3k rpms the engine starts to cut out and sputter, like its misfiring. On my hptuners the KR goes way up into the red. Please help me diagnose this problem. Thanks

I had the same issue, cutting out at 4k at full throttle. Ended up being a ground for me.

How much timing does it pull when it knock retards? Also what is your air fuel ratio at when you get on it, could be going way lean.

Have you actually looked at all your scan tool data? You need to look at EVERYTHING, and no, unplugging things won't always make the problem go away. Do you have any DTCs?

it could be a multitude of things, however my guess would be a poor connection on the crankshaft position sensor.
