EEEEEK! RPMS rising and wont stop while idle.....

Last night I installed my wallbro fuel pump, 1200cc injectors, and a Spoolin up cop kit. I decided to start my car today, took awhile for the fuel to go thru, but I noticed under my hood was smoking! My guess from that is the injectors had a little bit of e85 in them? Also, my rpms was at 1000 and seemed fine, but started rising more and more, to 1500. I immediately turned my engine off. I am guessing it needs a tune, since my AFR readings are around 17 >.<

Sounds like a vacuum leak. Could you have disconnected, accidentally or otherwise, a vacuum line that didn't get put back on?

You shouldn't be going lean with more fuel, you should be going rich. Something else happened that's causing this.

Vacuum lines are all plugged in. Getting a tuner over here, so he could diagnose and tune my car.

Car isn't tuned? (I don't actually know, just a thought).

When my IX warms up it rises from about 1100 to 1500 rpm over 5 mins then drops to 900 or so.
