hey tr i know this technically isnt the correct forum to post this in butim not having any luck in the right one. so here is my situation.

first, its about a 2000 jeep grand cherokee, i blew the radiator on the interstate, as i was pulling over the car died. i had it towed back to my house and replaced the radiator. it still wouldnt start. when i tried to turn it over it would turn once real slow like the battery was dieing so i put a new battery in it from my 250 and it did the same thing. so then i thought it might be the starter and i called a couple people to confirm but they said i was compressing water (blown head gasket) so i tore the motor apart and changed that. still doin the same thing when i tried to turn it over. next took the starter out and had it checked....it was bad....installed a new one.

now this is the part that confuses me, now when i turn it over it starts but when it does the rpms climb and tach out in about a second, like the throttle is stuck wide open. i took the air assembly off to see if that was the problem :negetive: and there is also smoke coming from the vacuum line coming out of the valve cover.

so i guess my question would be if this was a honda what would you check first? thanks for any help sorry about the long description.

 

so basically it overheated to shit and shut off on you?
Warped head comes to mind.
Did you change the oil when you changed the hg?, got water out of everywhere?
you could also have a vacuum leak somewhere

 

ya i drained everything out of everywhere and i checked my vacuum lines they all look to be hooked up fine..... i know the head gasket at least blew cuz there was water in 4 of the 6 cylinders... i just hope the head didnt warp or crack i might have to get that checked out i guess
