boosted 2.2 revving uncontrollably

...posting for a friend...

Anyone have an idea why a 06 2.2 ion that's recently been boosted would rev uncontrollably when you start the car? It's running 42# injectors.

edit..he wanted me to add... spliced the injector wires ie used the pigtail harnes

If it wasn't tuned..it wouldn't do that i dont think. You would just smell the gas hardcore..i ran SS injectors for a minute un-tuned on my car. (we were doing tests to see if my tune loaded) and it bogged bad.

check the throttle body..might be stuck

thats what happens when you put a LSJ TB on a 2.2/2.4 without rewiring the harness. I dont suppose you did that?

nope.. stock 2.2 TB only thing was done to the harness is wired the 42 lb pigtails in place of the stock 24lb injectors.. it's freaking driving me nuts I thought somehow I spliced the power wire for the TB into a power for an injector so it was getting that somehow but i didn't ..

i wired it up just like yuou did in your how to lol

i appologize for all the typos before.. I was typing in the dark on my phone lol

i have never heard of such a thing...but if the wiring is good...i would say check the TB and make sure its hooked up correctly and that its not stuck open.

our cars dont have an idle control valve. our idle is controlled directly by our TB blade

did you do any intake work too?
maybe a vacuum leak somewhere post TB?
take off the intake, and start the car (you'll throw a MAF code im sure), but watch the TB and see if it is open or if its mostly closed, like it should be

my car is running great...but lately ive been dealing with a dead battery every morning. i finally tackled it yesterday. i think i found the problem but i guess ill find out when i go out and start it and see if it starts or not

the TB has 2 throttle position sensors on board. one goes 0-5V as the throttle opens, and the other goes 5-0V as the throttle opens

i bet you a wire is touching the TB
happened with our 200sx, the car would rev uncontrollably when turned on because the battery wire was touching the TB

Talking

You probably didn't get the injectors seated properly and air is getting in there. You would be able to tell by spraying carb cleaner around them when the engine is running.

if changing the injectors fixes the issue, then ignore me.
at first it sounded like an exposed wire touching the TB
