Well....when i got mine tuned at matty's, he said not to worry about the limiter, its normal.
BUT, your problem has only happened to me a couple of times. So i changed the spark plugs (1 was shattered) and it didnt do it anymore. Even banging on limiter i dont get the check engine light, unless I have the pedal to the floor, still banging on the limiter.
Maybe put in a new set of spark plugs, and try again?
