Question couple of small problems

Alright now that i got my turboed n/a running, the tach doesn't work for some reason but it seems like both the coils are fine. Also the throttle likes to stay really high in the rpms but i have the cold start off and the temperature gauge always goes straight to hot when ignition is on.

Tach gets it's signal from the trailing coil. That's a problem I have right now :P

If the temp gauge goes streight to hot, check your ground connections.

For the high RPMS: Check the throttle cable tightness.

Interesting. I'll throw some guesses out there:

How about the cruise control cable?

Check your throttle plates to make sure they arent hanging or getting stuck (Full range of motion) and check the stop screws and the idle screw on top of the throttle.

Failing that, Check your AWS and BAC to make sure they're not stuck open or anything.

Any vac leaks?

It doesn't have cruise control anymore.

Took off the intake elbow and checked the plates and are good.

Don't have AWS or BAC.

I am checking for leakes but doesn't seem to have any. And also when i got it started the first time it stayed down like it usually does. I still have that air supply valve on the back but disconnected to find out if it was stuck and nothing.

Does that yellowish orange thing that has the two vacuum nipples on it go into a vauum, becuase i took it out but haven't got a bolt yet?
