ok, i redid the whole block off plate crap for my acv. i got gasket paper and liquid gasket stuff. i blocked it off and put gasket sealer all over. let it sit for about 3 hours, i just went out there to crank it up. OMFG!!!!! it cranks upquick and easy, shoots to 3,000 rpms! then DIES!!!! and everytime it will crank up no problem, and if i keep the rpms above 2,000 it'll stay alive. WTF!!!! it was running fine before i did this and it had a hole from acv! i'm so sad. i'm trying to adjust asap cause i need to take a 2 hour trip right now. hahahaha. HELP!!!!

BUMP AHHHHH!!!!!!

 

Sounds like a major vacuum leak: whatever you used to seal the gasket on the block-off plate didn't do the trick. Remove it and use RTV.
