it is needed, it runs from the tappet cover to the inlet manifold, shoul be half inch thick, if its blowing oil from the engine into the inlet it will be running on the oil making it rev higher, should be a threaded screw in the backish of the fuel pump try winding it.

yeah id try backing off the fuel screw abit sounds like its eating to much fuel. or it could be running on a bit of oil, like old mate said, make sure it isnt sucking oil from the crankcase, into the inlet, there should be a breather hose on top, disconect it. is it a 2.8 or a 2.4?
