ive checked the throttle cable several times and it doesnt stick anywhere and it seems to do it under only that high rpm..imma remove the tb and put my stock one back on.. i thought the vortech ecu chip was good enough for a while?

Your taking your engines life in your own hands every time you go WOT on the car... you have no idea what the a/f ratio or timing is doing without getting it checked.

Also dont go ***** to the wall without having 1/4 or more tank of gas, under a quarter tank the SVT Focus pump can't handle it and I've thrown those p190 codes before.
Get your can dyno'ed, its well worth the cash.

yeah i havent gotten it dynoed yet my funds are pretty low im drving the car very softly until then no WOT anymore. im saving up for a xcal2, powerpipe and to drop in the lightning maf i have sitting here and have the car trailered to the nearest dyno so says my mechanic...would it be ok to drive the car about 100 miles to the nearest shop by adding the power pipe and maf alone? i dont want to spend the extra money renting a trailer and whatnot.. the car idles perfectly and hear nothing wierd going on..

Put it this way, if your driving it aroud now dropping in the power pipe won't hurt anything. I would hold off on the MAF till you get to the shop just to make sure though, its probably going to throw off the ECU quite a bit from the stocker.

So long as you never go WOT and don't exceed 3000 RPM you should be safe. Your not boosting, so the worst that can happen is a lean condition when not under boost, aka the engine will run a little hotter. Would have to be majorly screwed (read: barely running) for anything to happen when not under boost, but anything COULD happen.

Wow... WOT without a tune. Did you do any research before you put the blower on?
I don't know what that black box is but I'm pretty sure you need it. I still have mine on there.
The narrowband a/f gauge doesn't mean anything at idle or just driving it should be all the way in the yellow (far right) during WOT if not then you may be a little lean.
If I said something wrong sorry someone will correct me.
