Help! after head install car shoots to 3k rpm, then dies. As soon as I start it, the rpm shoot to 3000 rpm for a second, then the car dies. If i give it some gas as it starts to die, the car shoots back up to 3000 rpm then idles at about 400 rpm for a few seconds, then dies. Threw a code, I cant check it though...
2 things I don't know.... One. on the pictures attatched there's two different clips that for the life of me I cant find where they go... what are they and could they make the car act like that?
two. I took off my air tubes because I dont have cats anymore... theres a tiny hose that's supposed to go to the back of the intake and I didnt hook it up because it goes to the air tubes, which i removed, could this be the problem? if so how can I fix it?

When you take the AIR system off, you have to remove the vacume line T in the back of the intake BUT you have to hook one of the lines back up to the MAP sensor.

Yeah, i took the intake off and found it, it was pinched in the coolant pipe and the block... i put the T in, put it all back together and same thing, idle is ok for a second, then jumps to 3k now it just stays there til i turn the car off.... this really sucks i cant even drive it like that...
i unplugged the sensor on the TB..the IAC i think it is? the one that throws a SES light and says the ASR is off when you pull it..if i pull that plug and start the car it idles where it should.. it used to die though when i unplugged that, but again if i give it some gas it goes back up to 3k rpm..i dont understand.. how can i even take it down to get it tuned if it wont go below 3k rpm.
