Default big problems here after 3" intake/XTB install

Got it all in there, however, when I start my car..the revs start high and keep climbing until I am forced to shut the car off or be doing 7K RPM's in neutral.

Anyone know what is going on??

Default sounds like a throttle cable problem

are the butterflies moving freely?

Default sounds like your throttle cable or TB pulley is stuck or binding on something. I've had it happen...

once and very early-on. If the butterflies aren't open/stuck open the car can't make RPMs.

Default simply impossible! Car cannot make RPMs with butterflies closed under ANY circumstances...

with no air there can be no RPMs.

Default I'm betting its an external obstruction. Hold a mirror down there with...

a light and look inside. But only after checking the outside near butterfly pully and cruise control area on top side of TB when mounted.
