High Revving Engine
Just recently changed on the LB9 engine the Fuel injectors, Intake Manifold and Runners to the Edelbrock high flo. Once the top end was put back together the engine immediately revs up to 4500 RPM or higher. It was not doing any of this prior to the upgrades.
This is what has been done to find the cause of the problem.
1. Verified that the brake booster hose was connected to the intake manifold, and there are not any obvious signs of it being cracked or broken.
2. Verified that the throttle plate was not sticking open. Either due to a hung or stuck throttle cable, or mechanical damage.
3. Verified that the cruise control cable was not involved in actuating the throttle.
4. Disconnected the TPS
5. Disconnected the IAC
Looking for any ideas as to What is causing this? Whatever help that anyone can provide is greatly appreciated.
