I don't think the two are related, but more of info on what was done.
The car is a 2ga 95 gsx with the cam position sensor on the inner side of the cam sprocket.
I replaced the seals using the rope technique (stuffing the cylinders) and everything went fine. I put the cams back on, put the timing belt on. Had everything lined up. Before connecting the accessories, I tried a test run. Car started and ran at about 2k, a little above ran it for about 5-10 seconds then turned it off. Sounded great too...
I thought maybe needed to have accessories, so that the water pump would be working, but putting everything back on and trying again, same issue. I ran it a little longer, but rpms didn't go down. Got it up to temp, played around with the throttle pressing it all the way down and that dropped rpms a little (now it was running at 1500-1700), but not much still double what it should be. BISS was already trimmed a while back.
With what I touched, I can't think of anything that would have caused this (thus why I'm posting here).
I didn't touch the cam sensor in any way, but I also didn't look at it too much or check it as I figure it was bolted in and I didn't need to do anything with it.
I didn't have any codes and unfortunately couldn't check dsmlink as my laptop died (battery)(working on car at friends house so can't check it at the moment).
Wondering if anything in the area that I was working on could cause something like this or maybe this is just target fixation and I should be looking elsewhere.
Should I look for anything in DSMLink when I get the chance to try it again?
