89 Tracker Over-revving on start up
#1
Since I did my tranny drop/clutch swap/oil-pan repaint my 89 Tracker (8V manual 4x4 2 Dr) it has been racing up to about 4000rpm on start up. It holds this rpm longer when cold (approx 2-4 seconds). It was the worst when I first started the engine after being off for about a month while doing the tranny drop, etc. That kinda freaked me out and I turned the key off after about 5 seconds of it racing at 4k. I started it again after checking the throttle cable hadn't jumped, etc. and it still did it and I shut it off again after about 5 sec. On about the 3rd or 4th start it finally dropped down to about 1500rpm after a couple seconds.

Wondered if the vacuum hoses got stretched and one cracked when the block was being tipped forward/back during the tranny re and re but I ran my fingers along and around
each with the engine idling to see if there was an rpm change. Nada

Any suggestions or suspicions?
