Flushed radiator now its gutless

Ok yesterday I flushed my radiator and my cooling problem is fixed. Works great now, but my car is gutless in all gears. I checked the plug wires and they seem to be ok. anybody got any suggestions?

Did you make sure to put stuff back into your radiator? LOL j/k

Did you check to make sure all the plugs were getting spark?

Guess checking spark would be the next logical step. I just wiggled the wires and they felt like they were seated like they should be. You have to replace that green stuff?

I think by green stuff you mean coolant. YES. Fast as you can. Do it properly but DO NOT drive without atleast water in there, although coolant is a very good idea. Please put coolant in your radiator asap!

Do you have all of the air out of the system yet? I'm thinkin' maybe the water thermo sensor isn't submerged yet in coolant and it's giving some funky voltages to the ECU. It's mounted on the back of the housing, below the back of the alt. Green plug. Just in case you want to play with it
