Bogs down at 4K+ rpms on highway
Pulled a bunch of codes that indicated the rough idle might be the MAF, so replaced the MAF and the car is much better yet still not perfect.
On the highway (60+ mph) @ 4K+ rpms the car "bogs down", like its starved for air or fuel, and just won't keep going.
Any ideas? I'm going to change the plugs later, they are probably filthy from the bad MAF dumping too much fuel and running rich at idle.

JP,
No. The car constantly bogs down at high rpms on the highway (4-6th gear), yet I can rev it to redline in 1-3rd gear no problem. The problem is persistent, it didn't go away with the new MAF and happens on every start (or at least the ones I get on the highway).
