Zx6r 06 overheating issue?

So, I started riding the bike after being gone doing army stuffs. Rode the bike yesterday and took it on the highway did some pulls. Fast forward about an hour later it starts to buck at around 8k rpm. I think "okay my top injectors are dirty" so I switch them out really quick and go back riding. It does the same thing but this time it shuts off randomly (almost like an ECU overheating) so I pull my bike into my garage and test it out. Let the bike idle until it shuts off. I then remove the ECU from underneath my seat and hold it out where it can get free air. And it didn't shut off and would rev to Max. Anybody ever see an ECU overheat and it not need time to "cool" down? When mine did it before it would cut out and I'd have to wait like 30min to get another 10 min of riding in. Also could it be affecting my rev limits? (Not actually but won't let it rev past 8k?)
Sorry to bother you guys again. Really appreciate your help.

So it still did it, it is weird because it will let me rev up past 8k for the first 15-20 min now. Then it falls on its face. Also, if I turn the key off and turn it back on it will let me rev for a while and do the same thing. If I flutter the throttle it will let me rev all the way out but if I'm 100% throttle it wants to buck Also when this is happening it pops on decel (never pops) so I'm thinking something to do with fuel delivery or spark plugs

Took the gas cap off while riding to see if maybe somehow it was suction but still nothing

I had replaced the spark plugs, coils and tank before this happened as well as fuel pump.

Long shot but check your vacuum hoses for any leaks. I had an issue when I failed to reconnect a vacuum line and she would stop right around 8-9k and fall flat on it's face too. RJ had a good idea to use WD-40 and spray around the boots/vacuum hoses and see if the exhaust spits out some white smoke. IF it does, you're sucking in the WD-40 and have a vacuum leak. Otherwise, no clue what could be electronically wrong if you tried two different ECUs and it didnt fix the problem

Tearing it down again today, will do the wd40 trick to see what it is doing, went through it yesterday and all the vacuum hoses were good and on but could have a crack in one I didn't see. Appreciate the help, my only thoughts are that maybe a plug isn't torqued to spec and it is causing intermittent misfire? Other weird thing is on idle it isn't a smooth idle. It bounces about 150rpm until about 175f then it smooths over but sounds like 1 cylinder misses every 20 seconds or so

Update-

Road around for a while today and it didn't hesitate, lurch, or anything. So I'm assuming my power commander was bad. One thing I noticed with my powercommander was my tps sensor was going from 0 to 6% apparently the fix for that is to ground the tps sensor with the powercommander? Any advice on that? Or think my power commander is shot?
