Hi Guys So I'm so close of having Jessica back up and running again, and now that everything is connected and good to go, I started her and it's Reved up like a mofo (actually Redlining) and I have to kill the engine right away because I don't even have my foot on the pedal, and I'm afraid to mess up anything inside the engine. Now What I changed from when I parked it 2 years ago is pretty much everything in the Engine compartment, since the PO swapped the Original engine for a HO of an 06 TJ, but kept all the old Renix stuff like closed cooling system, intake manifold, throttle body... So I swapped all of the old stuff for new stuff. A 92 HO Intake Manifold, a brand new Jeepers and Creepers 62mm Throttle body, with its Spacer, a Banks Header System, Homemade TPS sensor adapter, Open Cooling System.. etc. So I already checked the obvious, which was checking sensors, and Vacuum leaks, and nothing popped out. Now on the new headers it didn't come with a bung for the 02 sensor, but for what I've read it's not completely necessary, so that is not connected. Also I'm not sure if I re-connected the EGR valve, and to be honest I'm lost on what the EGR valve does, and if it has anything to do with the problem I have.. I suspect by what I've experienced before, that it's sucking air from somewhere else, but where could it be going in from, it has new gaskets everywhere around the intake manifold and accessories, and also I used plumbers tape on every fitting that threads onto the intake manifold. Anyways guys any Help will be greatly appreciated since I haven't slept well for a couple of Days now, thinking of what could be causing this problem.
