Details!!! There's no beating a properly setup v-mount. I did notice a significant loss of throttle response when I went front mount .

Ok guys.....kinda having a mini freak out right now.

Got in my car tonight to come home from work (car has sat for like 3 hours) start it and it dies, I think "ok, just cause its cold" so I gave it some throttle and held it a little and it started running real rough like it was flooded, well I had a guy walk by and told me it was shooting flames when I was revving it. So I took off and kept it running to get back to my apartment, well I noticed when I got there that It was leaking coolant (coolant buzzer had been going off on my dinner break and on the way home, but guage showed in barely getting hot?) and I found where I bypassed the cold start assist it was leaking onto the top of the engine.....

Y'all got any ideas??? I'm supposed to trade this car TOMORROW MORNING so I need help!

How old is your engine? What have you ruled out so far? I hate to tell you to start out with a compression test but that's what I'd do because of the running rough and blowing fire (also it doesnt take much time to do the test).
