Tach not working after installing new intake hey guys, I just put a Weiand LS1 intake on my 2000 camaro z28. Now the tach wont work, Its idleing fast till you come to a complete stop. and when you drive it, it seems to be in open loop.

The camshaft position sensor is on the back of the intake on a 2000. It generates the RPM signal for the tachometer on most cars. It also takes longer to start an engine without the signal and the fuel injectors won't be timed but batch fired. You probably forgot to plug it back in or it's not fully connected, broken, etc. You should have a P0342 code due to this. It's right on top in the middle back under the windshield, you may have to go by feel to find the wire and put it on.
