Runs rough + dies when revved.

Featured Replies

Hey all,

My intake/exhaust gasket has deteriorated and I decided to go ahead and swap it out.

I took off the injector connectors, the 3 sensor connectors and the 4 clip-together wires on the top of intake manifold. I then took a look at the lower manifold nuts and decided to go ahead and do this when I had access to more tools.

I took the cruise control out along with the 2 vacuum sensors (I think that's what they are) located on the cruise control bracket with a vacuum line going between them. (I plugged the line)

I hooked everything back up (injectors/spark wires/sensors/4 weird wires) and now the car revs really harshly and drops down and dies when I let off the gas.

Any ideas greatly appreciated, this sucks,

Alex

Got it.

The vacuum line going through the firewall was connected to the wrong hole on the cylinder to which it should be plugged. (the thing that I guess builds up the vacuum to control the heater vents or something :rolleyes:)

Sorry about being so vague.:)
