if it stalls at 4500, then just rev it to 4300 :lol: isn't 4500 close to red line anyway? think of it as a rev limiter, haha

sorry, hope someone has a real suggestion. :D

Yeah, I'm not sure why you have to rev it that high in park... If you arent having the problem on the street, just dont rev it so high. I think your engine is likely complaining more than anything... check your air filter.

I had a problem recently, my MAF failed on me, my car wouldnt wanna rev past 2500rpm, it was jerk, and the idle was rough, though it sounded like a big block. I replaced it and it was fine after that, maybe that could be the problem with urs? or TPS or something along those lines.
