There is some oil in my UIM due to a broken valve cover gasket and that has been replaced. Is there anything else that may be causing this problem(same as described above....no power when you stomp on the gas and it bucks like it's rev limited?

The secondaries are controlled by the computer and open when the revs reach above a certain RPM. (Around 3800) The engine needs to be running to test them but you can see the linkage move down on the LIM when the RPMs go above the 3800. Most tours are rev limited to 6750, but ATXs will only rev to 4K when in park or neutral. (Transmission anti-grenade safety logic built into the PCM...) FWIW, an ATX should rev to 6200-6400 on a WOT 1-2 and 2-3 shift. (Sure have a cup of coffee, we've got time...  )
