Somehow, you didn't put the throttle back together correctly. Your
throttle *has* to be wide open to rev the engine like that. A closed
throttle would not rev the engine, no matter what else you did.

Re: after cracked manifold replaced, high (redline) rpm on startup
I should have taken L.W's advice about loosening and wiggling the
intake. Instead I decided to start checking each screw by tightening
each one to make sure it was at the correct setting. Well, it turns
out that the intake was not seated properly. There are 2 holes on each
side of the intake that are suppose to line up with engine. One of
them was not lined up and as I tighted the screw (since it was not
torqued to the correct amount) it broke of a small pieace of the
intake. In any case that meant that whole side was loose. So I began
to tighten each bolt again, and when over them several times. Turned
on the Jeep, and it was back to its normal idle speed :). I can live
with the small chip on the intake, as it appears to be running ok. I
plan on driving it on short drives, and re-check the bolts in a couple
of days. Thanks for everyones suggestions.

Re: after cracked manifold replaced, high (redline) rpm on startup
Thanks for the update. It is a bit common to have issues with that long
intake.
Just FYI, the torquing should 'start' in the center and spiral out to
the outside bolts, not alternate inside to outside. This will make it
stay put better.
