Well my 91 ran great till i salvaged all the parts off. i have a sensor tester so I will check tps. I guess I will rig up a pressure tester that i can have in the vehicle to check the fuel psi under load. Im gonna go out here and swap brake swithches and see what happens. I will let you know...

Theres no second brake switch. No vacuum leaks either. I dont know...Gonna check O2 sensor tomorrow.Tried to do a stall test and it just smokes the tires. When you floor it driving driving it will die. This thing usually runs better than new.Idk

That's crazy. this is the 4th head I've done on a i6 and never had a prob. Must have been lucky. I'm happy my $150 jeep with its $100 head. Thats a good deal:peace:

Good call! Thats the only thing i could figure to. I forgot about the intake dowels.Went back did it again and it dropped right onto the dowels. Started up and purrrs like a kitten. Thank you for mentioning the dowels or i would have been mad forever.:guitar:

Yesterday I put a head on my 94 Country. As soon as it starts it revs like full throttle. I have a 91 and already swapped the throttle body with sensors, checked vacuum diagrams n no matter what I do it does the same thing. If the manifold gasket was leaking, would it do that? Help please.

Thanks guys, i appreciate the info. The head goes on tomorrow! I got everything ready just had to order the gasket set today. I had this head for over a year and thought i wouldn':roll:t work. Sweet!
