Icon6 EM1 PROBLEM WITH ENGINE BOGING DOWN PLEASE HELP.

my em1 with b16a2 has a problem here it goes:
my car drives great but
if i'd punch it, it would pull very good and hard to redline with no problems "here's the problem" then a soon as I shift hard into second or whatever gear it just dies or bogs down? I can take off on any gear great and i get the same effect. If I run the car normally this never happens. Note it only happens when I'm pushing the car hard or to redline. what could be going on??? thanks guys...

Si is mainly stock with CAI and hassport motor mounts no ac/ps Act clutch no slips. chipped p28 on crome. :

Any CEL codes? As mentioned, when were the plugs, wires, cap, and rotor last replaced? Is the ignition timing set to spec?

Yea actually i do have CEL code. I jumped the service connector plug and I think its code 10 But I'm not 100% sure here's a little clip I made so you can see for yourself. as for the ignition timing set to spec I'm not really sure... cap and rotor, wires, plugs are just 3 months old.

Looks like code 10. Is the IAT sensor plugged in? If you reset the ECU, does the code return?

I reset the ECU and the IAT CEL code does return. Its not plugged in and Ive been trying to locate it with no success. I do have an idea where it is but I'm suspecting that it may have been cut. I don't know why but I have to remove the heat shrinking and see... If in fact it is cut do buy a new engine harness or do cut the missing piece from a junkyard?? Thanks
