I had a similar issue and it turned out to be a vacuum leak from my oil catch can. The can drain valve was accidently left open after I drained it and it caused a big vacuum leak. Good luck!...

I believe in Track and Sport settings the valves still close once you reach cruising speeds with low rpm’s. Then the valves open back up as soon as you get into the throttle.
