HELP! LS6 Intake swap. Motor Revs High!
Bolted on a ls6 intake on my 99..all egr/air has been tuned out. Have the LS6 coolant plugs ect ect. I start the car..and the revs just sore..and dont stop. Sounds horrible! What could it be?

sounds like you screwed up putting the throttle body back on. maybe you bent the plate or something or there's not enough slack in the cable and it's pulling the plate open. i'd bank on the throttle body before anything with the intake. make sure it's on right and there's no bent plating.

yea that's possible too. either way, you messed up putting something on. check the throttle body is secure before you do anything as that is the easiest to get on and off. also make sure you bolted your air lid correctly, although i don't think that would be the cause.

Are you saying it idles too high??? If so, try screwing out the Hex screw on the throttle body stop plate a few turns. If you nearly have to take the screw out, you may very well have a leak in the system after the TB.

Sounds like its an intake or vacuum leak to me. Could be coming from anywhere really. You can do a smoke test to find it or take a can of Carb cleaner and spray it around the edge or the intake, sensors, matting area of the TB and if its leaking it will suck the carb cleaner in and the revs will drop or even stall the car.

Sounds like a vacuum leak. Spray some carb cleaner or propane around the intake gasket and listen for changes in the way your engine revs. If you hear changes at a certain spot, youve found your leak....
