Help car wont rev past 2k rpm??

just finished installing a water temp gauge today, after installing air fuel ratio and volt gauges 2 months prior no problems...let the car warm up for a few mins and then it cut off on its own...took a few seconds for the engine to turn over but it did but now car bogs down when i try to go past 2k rpms....any ideas???

will it go past 2200 rpms at all. If it feels like your hitting a rev limiter at 2000-2200 its a blown MAF.

Sounds like you shorted out the power to the MAF, check your wiring.
