Has anyone has any engine problems after removing the steering column lock? I can rev the engine up to redline just fine with the clutch in, but when I put it in gear, I can only drive 5 feet before the throttle cuts out and the engine dies. I do get the service column lock warning message on startup. I should also add that I spent the entire winter rebuilding my car due to fire damage.

i dunno if you got your question answered...but i learned today that a column lock malfunction also includes the PCM cutting fuel to the engine (i guess for theft prevention.) this is EXACTLY what you are experiencing. mine did it today and i couldnt understand what the heck was wrong.
