Red Lining

[BrownmanC]

Ok heres the situation....Its a little hard to explain so bare with me...Everyone knows when a car is redlining that the engine is starting to cut off..Well today me and Coastek started to put on my new cold air intake..Well when it was complete we started up the car and i rev'd...It was redlining at 2.8 rpms ( Dont get me wrong car sounded great but i wanted to performance &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':angry:'> ) We thought we hooked somthing up wrong so we took it off and put the stock back on (So that i had a car to drive until we could figure out the problem) Well when we completed making my '92 &nbsp;240sx stock again the problem continued...Its redlining at 2.8 rpms ( its not possible to redline there but just pretend that ther is a red line at 2.8 rpms and thats what my car is doing..) I tried driving down the street...Yea that was scary..I dont know whats wrong and i hate not being able to drive my car &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'> I cant get to a mechanic until Monday either...anyone know anything that could possibly help me? Or just a hunch about what it could be? &nbsp;I would greatly appreciate it

On my Corvette, I replaced my fuel pressure regulator. &nbsp;And broke a vaccuum line doing it.
When I started, the idle immediatly jumped up, and I had about 2k rpms to play with, then it would falsely "redline."

And just thinking about when I installed my Intake, there were 3 vaccuum lines to hook up. &nbsp;Possibly one is off, or there is a hole in it. &nbsp;Cuz even a crack or tear could throw your whole car off.

Oh.. oh.. And mabey even, when you moved that Air Intake Sensor thing, that was on the stock airbox, you broke it, or disconected it. &nbsp;That would do bad things.
