I just finished my b16a2 swap into my 96 honda civic ex. When i got to start my car, the rpms redline immediately as if i was in full throttle (WOT). I cut it off immediatly to prevent any harm to my engine. Anyone have any ideas what the problem could be? Loose intake manifold? Bad primary 02 sensor? etc. THANKS!!!!

 

Do you have a throttlebody on the intake manifold?

 

that is really really bad for it... check ure throttle cable for being too short or stuck, could be something simple like that

yea thats what i was thinking too...

 

Check the throttle body to see if there is anything keeping the throttle plate open. Happen to me once. I was like WTF! Turn out there was a rock that is hold the throttle plate open.

 

HUGE vacuum leak.
