I just installed a ported manifold on my mazdaspeed protege and now when i crank up my car it revs to 3k and dies immediatly, also it makes a terrible whining noise. Iv searched everywhere but cant seem to find a solution to my problem. I desperately need some info on what i shoud do
 
Is there a certain way to put it on? Like tips on what I should do? I'm gonna pull the damn thing off today and reinstall it, just seeing if there was any advice out there for installing
 
Did you use a new gasket? Look i know there's a special way you're supposed to tighten the bolts but I can't remember how or the tourque specs
 
Just redid everything last night and buttoned everything down to spec. The car starts and runs, but I still have a bad vacuum leak. It is making a very high pitch sound coming from the throttle area
 
Iv read up and similar problems are from IAC. I sprayed carb cleaner around throttle and the rpms changed so I'm guessing the leak has to be from there
