Default please help me please

I have a 93 del sol si d16z6. I got a helix power tower and put it on my car. after installing the car started jumping from 2000-3000 rmps. I decided to take it off the car. and went back to the origanal set up... now the car is still jumping from 1000-2000 rpms there are no CEL"S. I have no idea what is going on... thought I might have a vacuum leak or the map sensor was bad but seaming how there is now CEL"S I dont think it is that... I was told to drive the car and maybe the computer would reset itself and that didnt work.. So were do I go from here. could it be a vacuum leak... please help...

sounds like a vacuum leak...make sure you reconnected all your hoses...could also be an idle air control issue
