just installed the pre cat o2 sensors. To no avail. The car does not want to rev beyond 3,000 RPM, and I think it's running lean. Next part from NAPA is going to be the MAF. Any other suggestions?

A few ideas...

Fuel pump? Fuel pressure regulator (if the box has one... Not sure)? Fuel filter clogged? Electrical issue resulting in loss of spark or signal to injectors of one bank?

It runs and drives, just very poorly (considering it was running like a top a couple weeks back) and can't make it past 3k. I manually pulled the throttle cable, thinking that maybe the throttle body blade is stuck or facing resistance, but that didn't help. It's getting fuel and spark, it sounds quite normal at idle. it also has idling problems right after you gas it, but then it quickly returns to a normal idle.

New codes:
P1319 Signal implausible cyl 1-6
P1313 emission related signal implausible cyl 1-6
P1314 emission " "
P1318 " "
P0150 O2 Circuit bank 2 sensor 1
P1316 misfire, emission related signal implausible cyl 1-6
P0102 Mass or volume air flow circuit low input (I unplugged the MAF momentarily to see if there was a difference)

The car won't really get past 1500 RPM now...

A smooth & normal idle would rule out most electrical issues. Could still be the fuel pump/pressure.

when the MAF was disconnected; it ran rich (it smelled of gas and couldn't easily maintain idle). Does that help?

When you say it won't rev beyond 3k, is this while driving or just sitting in your driveway in neutral?
