Help, Help, Save my Vette
big problem, any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated
I blew a coolant hose at the throttle body driver side and now my car has severe problems. The car will start when cold. Idle is rough, backfires, and stalls, especially after driving. The car stumbles on acceleration in overdrive. Also, when heat is turned on, the car really stumbles. I have dried all parts thoroughly and have tried to wash away any remaining coolant. I am not sure what to check first and last and what I need to replace. Thanks

Though my L98 has no optispark, it sure sounds like typical wet opti symptoms I've heard on the Forum.
I believe your only option is to replace the opti.

If your car are running fine until it blew the coolant hose. That means you need a new optic spark. Espensively you wash the motor after the coolant got it all wet in the optic.
