I have a mild KA-t set up s13 hatch.
I recentley just changed my motor mounts and today I tried starting it for the first time since then.
As soon as the engine starts it shoots up to over 4,000rpm. Turned it of and started it a second time and did the exact same thing. I couldnt really check the engine out cus I had to go to work soon (where i am right now).
Anybody had this problem before? I was thinking TPS?
Any help is good help thanks.

Is your MAFs plugged in? Sometimes if not plugged in it will idle high with no rev.

Maf is plugged in and i checked the throttle plate and its closed. no leaks before this happened when it used to start up and my boost gauge reads -20 how it should be at idle.
I keep double checking my grounds over again just in case. i checked my spark plugs and i noticed #2 cylinder plug looks like i just took it out the box and all the other three plugs are sparking cus of the burnt marks on them.
so for some reason my #2 cylinder is not sparking. im getting new ngk spark plug wires soon maybe thatll fix it...
any ideas? i dont get it. it started fine then after i swap my oil pan and motor mounts out (nothing electronical), it doesn't want to start any more.

Turn the car on
Unplug Maf sensor if the car doesn't stall/die there's your problem
