Is your SECURITY light on?

That's the first to check on the 99

OP, was your car totally normal before you changed the KS and these two problems magically popped up? Doesn't add up.

+1 on MAF if you can't go above 2500rpms.

You should have prefaced that info to begin with. Chances are, you replaced the KS unnecessarily, as it's often a piggyback code to other codes. Fix the real problem, and the KS code goes away.

Did you remove the intake manifold to replace the KS? if so, double check that you plugged in the rear bank subharness. I know from experience that the car can start with only 1 bank working...

Your KS could have been bad especially if it looks beat up but for future reference, when you get a KS code it usually points to another problem. Hell, my KS is still factory
