just intstalled my intake manifold and ran into a problem.

i could start the car and it would rev up to 3-4k and stay and sputter.

need help ASAP!

check all vacuum sources sounds like a leak, check your gaskets.

Lilsoldierbenny

ok. i also put in a blox intake manifold gasket. i would start my car and itll just rev up to 3.5k and stay.

madblkscientist

make sure ur tps is pluged in

eg crunkmonster

sounds like u have a leak. make sure all the unused vacuums are closed or that the IM gasket is completely sealed

eg5speed

what kinda of intake manifold did you add and on what head?

Lilsoldierbenny

JG edelbrock victor X on a gsr. it might be vaccuum. idk. and my tps is plugged in.

eg5speed

Why didn't you go with a GSR intake manifold? Just wondering.

Lilsoldierbenny

im boosted?

eg5speed

This is probably a stupid question. Why cant you use the GSR manifold if your boosted?

Wow that is a stupid question. Make sure all your sensors are plugged in. I just installed my performerX and it had kinda the same problem but I forgot to throw the IACV on. Just check for the obvious.

Lilsoldierbenny

ok. i checked everything and still does it. ill recheck everything

ahobbs

you have a vaccum leak. But i think your IAT and IACV is switched. Then if it's still acting up you probably burned the IAT cause the 5v sensore cant take 12v which is what the IACV takes. Look at the IAT and see if the tip is burned

Lilsoldierbenny

ok. so if its a vaccum leak itll just rev up to 3.5k and stay?

Lilsoldierbenny

seems like its hitting a rev limitter

perseverance

ok.. get carb cleaner and spray it around the intake manifold gasket. if ur engine start to die out then u found the leak. i'm surpised no one's suggested this earlier. it's the first thing u do when u suspect a vaccuum leak. it's possible you didn't torque the gasket down properly.

Lilsoldierbenny

will do this.

Lilsoldierbenny

thankssss that really help. its the gayass blox intake manifold gasket i got.

might not be the "gay" blox intake manifold gasket. its a real bitch to clean off all of the old gasket so if a little of the old gasket material was missed it can cause the new gasket to leak. just a thought.

perseverance

yup, especially if the new gasket is one of those plastic ones. they're not the best at sealing and are thick so you'd want to get longer studs to bolt it down better.

eg crunkmonster

i use to spray down my gaskets with wd40 so if i needed to replace it, it would come off clean

Glove

hook up an air compressor the the inlet of your turbo, then give it some air,

when you start to hear the leak, youl find it,

if you dont hear anything,

prolly switched the IACV and the Purge plug
