I have what I believe to be coolant in my vacuum lines and I believe it is causing my car to run like crap. What is the cause of this? Anyone know? I had to use starting fluid to get it started last night and when it ran it would barley make it around the block. I wonder what is causing this. Coolant seal..? Could I have hooked somthing up wrong when I put things back together..? Any input or experience with this is appreciated. I have not been able to drive it far enough to notice any drop in coolant level. Thanks

Theres a coolant line that runs from the front of the block (behind the radiator area) to the BAC and TB. If you hooked those to a vac nipple... well you're drinking lots of coolant, suprised the car would even start.

Check for vac leaks... I had a stumbling car that would not even run on its own (no runnign under 2krpm). I repalce a cracked line, and i had an instant perfect 800rpm idle.

Also, stock, oil blowby/PCV gets pushed through the intake. it might be some residual oil that made it through to one of the lines...
