When the engine is rebuilt, R52 continues to rev high.

Last night I replaced the head gasket on my R52 Cooper S. The engine started up without a hitch, however it went into overdrive almost instantly (I neglected to check the engine rev limit). From what I can tell, it could be vacuum lines or low voltage levels; however, I have not been able to locate this specific issue on the forum; could you perhaps point me in the direction of a good starting point?

If you suspect a leak, whether it's from the intake, exhaust, or supercharger side, I recommend performing a smoke test and fixing any damaged components.

To find out what's going on, check the real-time data, which may include things like temperatures, throttle positions, fuel trims, and more.

It seems like the engine is going straight onto boost, and I'm worried the bypass valve is stuck closed. The hoover connection might have been knocked off, so I should go see. It seems to be in line with it since I also received identical problem codes. Is it feasible to you?

Unexpectedly high or low readings outside of the sensor's parameters are definitely the result of something. I will have to look into what you suggest, but I don't know the system well enough to give it a specific name.

However, please inform us of the results of the checks.
