All of the metal in the oil filter, the oil had tons of metal in it. I guess the cam timing is off when it the IMS goes, causing limp mode. Makes sense to me, I think it's dead. The odd thing is the normal revving when I unplugged the mass airflow sensor.

It did make a funky noise once while in limp mode.

All of the metal in the oil is why I think it's the IMS. It was worse in person. There were some serious chunks.
