Default runs rich, cuts off erratically above 2500RPM

So I replaced all 8 caps with low ESR caps from digitec this morning.

Replaced TPS a few days ago.

What the hell do I do now? With the ECU throwing no codes, but it actually shutting everything down when the RPMs get above 2500 it seems like a wire is loose somewhere, but would that prevent the ECU from giving codes?

Is the ECU still the problem, unrelated to bad caps?

Or is it the wire harness at the trunk....which looks perfect by the way.

what the heck do I do now?

Check the fire timing changing the rpm.

Is it advanced as the rpm increases or is it always at BTDC 3° and no change?
If it's always at BTDC 3°, it simply means that your car is in the limp home mode caused by some serious factor(s).
