I had a similar problem with mine it turned out to be a bad throttle position sensor. If that's the culprit it is probably throwing a code, mine was.

Tru, srt-4's are know for tps wires breaking because it sits right behind the radiators fan and is bombarded by alot of heat... he didnt mention any code though..

Tell ur buddy to turn the car off. put the key in the start position without starting the car, then fully turn off and on the ignition three times and if there are any ghost codes they will display the third time where the odometer is.

You must have upgraded the ECU to a different stage to get that code. Did you go check the plugs as well ? to get rid of the code refer to the below paste again.
