'99 TJ redline after header install
Well, the good news is, I finally got off my *** and installed the
Thorley header I had sitting in my basement the last couple years. The
bad news is that when I start the Jeep, the engine immediately starts
to rev to redline, even though I don't have my foot on the gas. Anyone
know what the hell is going on here? I've checked the throttle cable
and that's all well and good. No vacuum leaks that I can tell.

Doublecheked every connector that you might have taken off to make
sure you put it back. The idle stepper motor could do this if its open.

Ya, went down that road already.... at least I think everything is
hooked back up. I'll double check though, thanks!

That sure sounds like a vacuum leak.

Re: '99 TJ redline after header install
Thanks, Jerry.... the more I've been sitting here thinking about it, I
think you're right. We got lazy and just torqued everything down using
air tools, and I have my doubts on how powerful my neighbors
compressor is. Think I'll go back and torque to specs.
