It would be helpful if you let people know what model car you are referring to.

Do you mean no "electrical" power? If so, check the wiring associated with the alternator since you messed with that. Otherwise, provide more specific information on the problem in a way that people here can understand. You know, sentences, periods and the such. We need the "hole" story.

For the coolant leak, there is a coolant line that runs from the water pump through the BAC valve to the rear of the engine under the upper intake manifold. That may be the source of your leak. In which case you will likely have to remove the manifold in order to replace the hose.

BTW, welcome to the forum. Be aware that most, if not all, problems that people experience with these cars have been written about many times over. So, it's best to search before posting to find answers to questions you may have in the future. Also, get a copy of the factory service manual at one of the links in the respective FAQ for the model/generation of your car.

remove the soft hose between the airbox/manifold.
unbolt the hard plastic elbow, remove it.
pull off and cap the Coolant return lines (carefully)
slide off the throttle cable from the cam
pull off the vacuum lines
remove the four bolts holding it in
and unplug the TPS

that's about it. Reverse order to put it on,
make sure you don't create a bubble in your coolant system,
it's also pretty normal to find just a little oil between the throttle body and lower.

if you're looking for EVERYTHING (throttle body, upper intake, lower intake) removed, look it up in the FSM
