why does this have to happen
So yesterday after I thought I had fixed my coolant leak in the gsl-se, I took it for a drive, maybe two miles, everything was fine until I got it warm, and let it run up to 6000, then coolant spews from one of the hoses on the throttle body, okay that won't be hard to fix. Then I park it in the driveway and leave it for maybe half an hour, I come back, and it starts but it won't idle well. It starts runs up to 2000 briefly then drops down to maybe 100 rpm, then stalls. I get it into the garage and leave it till today. I try and start and its dead, probably just a door left open, i jump it and it won't stay going if it drops below 1500 rpm, you can't save it even if you floor it, you just have to keep a foot on the pedal to keep it at 2000, what has happened since I drove it yesterday, that causes this ****.

start with re-reading all your posts about coolant loss etc. etc. I mean really read them. There's been several members giving very good advice on this coolant leak, but I think you're making this more difficult on yourself. It ran ok before the first signs of steam/leak? Did you end up removing the intake manifold?? If you did...why? There is no coolant flowing thru the manifold on a 13b engine. Did you reuse the old gaskets? Might have a major vacuum leak causing the idle problems now. Check the hoses coming out of both sides of the dynamic chamber that says RE-EGI. They can cause your start and die problem. Charge your battery...may have too low voltage to run the electronics after removing the jumper cables. Back track everything you have done after the first attempt of repair. Keep us posted...
