D16Z6 Turbo Problem, Help.
Everything was fine until i started it one morning. It was a little cool that morning (around 0 celius or 30 fahrenheit). I had driven the car a bit hard the night before but everything seemed fine on the way home. Turbo timer and it shut off as asual. The next morning it was doing all this:
Car: D16z6 turbo with crome chipped p28 ecu, GM 3 bar map sensor.
Symptoms:
- Idle is going 800-1500 rpm, up and down
- car is running super rich now (450cc injectors)
- won't really let me get over 3000 rpm and is very limited in accelerating
- CEL is on but could not get any codes from it
- checked and cleaned the IACV and tightened the FIV but didn't help
Assumption: Car is in limp mode
Any ideas on what may have happened?
What should I do next to fix my problem?

all the symtoms lead to cat damage except that you do not have a blinking cel. i had somthing like this before turns out my injector wires were shorting off each other. take a look at them make sure there all good.

It could be a head gasket blown! When your trying to pass 3000 and let it cruise does it jump or bounce back and forth like it's forcing you to shift?

When i get to 3000 its like its hitting the rev limiter and kind of bucks a bit. once i get up to speed tho it cruises quite well.
The car is in storage right now until april 19th so its hard to check things as people make suggestions. But i am taking note of everything you guys suggest so keep the ideas coming and i will try them all in the spring!

To me it sounds like it could be a blown head gasket. It happened to me about a month ago. It's a good thing it's in storage because I didn't know what it was so I ignored it and all of my belts ripped, if i would have pushed it hard I probably would have bent valves.

I would have to go with a blown head gasket or cylinder head damage. I recently ran into a problem similar to this... i went though EVERYTHING, then broke down and took it to a shop. They diagnosed it to be an internal vacuum leak, or head damage.
