P2106 P0610. Goes into this after 3000 rpms. Replaced the throttle body from a working 13000 mile car with now difference. I am rebuilding this car from a wreck. I replaced the broken air box with a new klm cold air return. When I first got it installed the car ran great for 2 days. Also some of my wires in the lighting harness the plugs ect have been torn loose. I have carefully taped all the broken wires during these tests. Whats some more options to solve this? Is it the Cold air return? Someone said it was a throttle body for sure. As you can see no, wasted money. HELP and thanks

This is the same info I put in the last post you had:

First things first, when you installed the the K&N Cold Air Intake, are you sure that you installed the Mass-Air Sensor the proper way? Just look at the sensor that you screwed into the intake tube and make sure the "FLOW ARROW" points towards the engine. Simple check and very simple fix! Otherwise this sounds like a harness issue, perhaps a power-to-ground issue, connectivity issue, or a missing ground somewhere. I would check over the harness and all of the electrical connections. Also make sure that all of the clamps are tight for the cold air intake and you don't have an air leak somewhere.

Good Luck!
