Worried about diagnosing high Idle

My banjo bolts for my Aux ports broke off. So I removed my intake to get them out. I put the Intake back on with very nice home made upper gaskets and reused the block to first part of intake manifold. (used lots of Hi tac)I also noticed my omp Lines didnt have any oil in them. Made note to check them when i get it running again.

Fire it up.... takes off to 3000 rpm...so i figure I have a vac line un hocked. Nothing also no oil in the lines. I try spraying the intake manifold with brake clean but no rpm change most likely due to the fan blowing the brake clean every where. So i just assume because i reused the gasket. To change them. Turn it off

I removed the omp pump hooked a drill up to it ran it for like 5 mins nothing. So i did every thing to delete my omp system.

Put the intake back on with new oem gaskets. I put some 2 stoke oil in the gas tank. Start it 3000 rpm. But now I'am worried of running it to figure out whats wrong with it cause the gas and oil most likely wont be mixed. And who knows when that omp failed.

should I Just mix a jerry can of gas and oil and put that in and I should be on the safe side ???? Even if it ends up a little rich for a tank better then nothing?

MOP needs oil pressure from a running engine to produce metered oil. Aux banjo bolts are notorious for snapping in half. How did you repair them?

"MOP needs oil pressure from a running engine to produce metered oil" Well dont I feel like a retard . guess it dosnt matter I was in the middle of to pre mix or not to pre mix

I tried to get the broken bango bolts out. But all attempts failed and I ended up drilling and taping a 1/8 Npt and put a 1/8th 90 degree swedge lock fitting In. The rubber lines will be replaced with nicer bent steel lines. But I just would like to drive the car one day and make sure it works right before i put more time and money in it.

What is your upper intake? Doesn't look stock. Also, what fluid is that around the coolant ports
on the housing? Looks like gas...

Nope its dex Cool antifreeze. My line going to the throttle body dint like being played with. And the intake is just supper clean because I wanted to try some bead glass that got on some Aluminum.

I ended up tearing my My Iac valve apart cleaning it and putting it back on. It then was surrging between 600 rpm and 2000. After playing with it half a day I manged to get it to run good by adding vacume to the diprham on the iac valve Followed the line back and there was no vacume being applied. I had switched the vacume lines around to put the plug at the top.( to make it look nice) But i guess all the vacume lines going ito the intake are not vacume....... What really earks me is I labbled them with paint pen when i took it part
not my week.

On the plus I know have a better understanding how the efi system works. Finnally got to drive it for the first time... still have things to do to it but its drivable.
