okay... so i ripped off my throttle body on my 88 firebird recently cause i was going to buy a spacer for it, but i changed my mind, so when i reinstalled the throttle body.. im not sure if i hooked something up wrong, or if im forgetting to hook something up, but whenever i go start it up, it will rev at 3000 rpms and just chill there. im thinking this is a vacuum issue, but im not sure what to do. any help? thanks

 

Shot in the dark of course, not being there, but....

I'm going to guess that you left your brake booster hose off, or didn't hook the IAC up (it parks at like 145 steps when you shut the engine off).

Did you do anything to the TB itself while it was off?

Did you pull the throttle & cruise cable off to make sure it's not just yanking on it?

 

i never got to actually taking the whole throttle body off, i just disconnected quite a few things and unbolted it, then realized i was wasting my time, so i put everything back together the next day. but no, i never actually removed the throttle body

i haven't tried disconnecting the throttle cables and starting it yet, but i will tommorrow morning. but i went and took two pictures, im not really sure where these two things connect.


I've been looking for places to connect this, theres only one place that looked like it would fit and that was in this hole cut into the side of the air filter pan, but im not sure.



and then for this hose, i can't seem to find a place to connect it either..
