High engine revving and cut out after throttle body cleaning Sign In

Hello, today I cleaned the throttle body and plate on my 1997 gmc sierra with 5.7 L vortex engine. Everything went great until I tried starting it... instantly revs up to about 35000 rpm and then the engine dies... this is probably quite simple and I apologize for wasting your time, but I'm in a pinch and couldn't find any information online.
Thanks,
G

? What did you do use a whole c
an with engine off maybe? These run lousy just anyway with air filter/snorkel parts just removed and do stall. That has to all be in place and in good shape or all bets off.


IDK - Some you can get air filter in all crocked and may notice bottom under there catches quite the odd debris - own one, this year to boot shocked at what junk - leaves and such are safe BEFORE filter and no clue why it isn't near leaves where it is but if all that junk went thru unfiltered would be trouble,

That would be 3500 RPM.

I don't know if you took anything apart that could have damaged the IAC but try the reset procedure first. If this doesn't work, try disconnecting the battery for 5 minutes. When you restart it it will relearn the idle strategy.

  1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position for 5 seconds.
  2. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position for 10 seconds.
  3. Start the engine.
  4. Check for the proper idle operation.

Well those solutions did not seem to do much... so next I'll change the iac I suppose...

First make sure you didn't leave any hoses disconnected or damaged. Any unmetered air getting into the system can do that.
