2.3 Intake Manifold > 99 Z24
Sunday, March 23, 2014 9:56 AM
With ALOT of fabrication to making the manifold fit, finally get to the throttle body and the one that came on the manifold was a backwards setup for the throttle cable. So had to go bolt up the stock throttle body to the 2.3 manifold. Long story short. Went to start it and it just Reved up to 3.5 grand and i turned it off.
Keep in mind intake is not on yet

My question is why would it rev up like that? Could it be the TPS? Any help would be appreciated ^^

Whether at the throttle body or manifold flange to the head.

You've got a pretty bad leak for that thing to rev that high. You definitely don't want to run it like that at all, as you'll run extremely lean.

Cool, Thanks... Found out it was leaking around the bolts to the head from the manifold. My friend used washers on the bolts because he had to drill out the holes on the manifold to make it fit. Turns out we really didnt need the washers in the first place and now my bolt on the head is stripped. F%ck!

I do not agree at all with pretty much all of this.

Washers help distribute the clamping force of the bolts, or the studs. Either the bolts were over tightened, or you didn't buy longer bolts or studs for the added thickness of the quad manifold.

The longest that will fit into the head and not bottom out.
