We can start the engine but wants to rev at approx 1500/ 2000 rpm. There's no cam sensor, so I can't see what is causing the really fast idle. It's running ofam ( mega squirt ) management.
Has anyone got any ideas?

cheers mark
So you've made a massive change, and never been tuned/set up correctly....and you wonder why it isn't running right ?

Have a think about that.

And on a most basic level, if idle is too high, then it is getting too much air or to a lesser degree perhaps too much timing.

Which goes back to the first point....everything needs set up/tuned correctly for the entirely different setup.
