car keeps goin into limp mode
alright... this is a long story...i have a 2.0 ss/sc and i haven't done anything different to the car in a long time... last thing was the exhaust and that was 2 months ago... cars been fine for the longest time... i decided to hit the highway and when getting on the highway i redlined second.... no different then i do every now and then... no issues i start to shift to get to fifth and after about a minute of driving the car goes into limp mode... P0068 and P0121 r on... i clear them and drive back home... next day i take everything apart... intake and tb come out.... i clean the cone... clean the intake pipes.... clean the tb.... wipe off my MAF... wipe off my MAP... look inside my charger... everythings clean... wile my cone dries i inspect my couplings and all that... everything seems good... inside my charger it looks kinda dirty... i rubbed my finger in it and it was kinda gunky... looked like carbon buildup... same like on a tb... not sure if thats normal or not... but anyway i put everything back together better then it was originally and still get codes... this time P0068, P0121, P2228.... so i take out the MAP and test it and it seems to be getting a reading... i didn't have a gauge to use so i don't know if it was accurate but it did read something when i tested it... so i think thats fine... i let it sit for a day and decided to try to drive it... everything was good... no codes... no limp... i park it... eat dinner... get back in to go out with the gf... limp mode again... this time P0068, P0069, P0121, P2228... and i noticed that my rpm was reving up and down on its own... up to about 1500 and as low as 500 then back to about 800 again... so i parked the car and haven't touched it since... any idea's? tb? tps? maf? map?

Check your barometer pressure sensor and scip sensor connectors and wiring for damage..
(Take a good close look using a magnifying glass if you have one.)
May have been damaged by who ever changed your oil or they didnt clip the connectors on positively.
I noticed when changing the oil filter there is alot of interference with the connectors in that area even if your careful with a extension.
