Default Need Help! Fast!

On my way to work last night i blew a radiator line.. This morning i got everything to fix it and it took 2 and a half gallons of anti freeze to fill back up.. my temp gauge didnt go up past the A on the Normal and shut it off.. but on my way home feels like extreme loss of power and when you manually shift when you finally get to a high rpm it starts missing and trys to fall on its face... think its my heads? or poss. sucked anti freeze in threw my throttle body or maybe in my distrubitor cap? Wouldnt have thought it got that hot to mess my heads up I know it soaked the whole motor.. need to fig out soon my only vehicle to get me to work

check your dipstick to see what it looks like. if the oil looks fine then i doubt it sucked anything up.

also take your distributor cap off and see if theres any moisture. wouldnt hurt to take off your plug wires and blow them out either.

I would take all the elec connections off and spray them with wd-40 and hit them with compressed air. Check alternator and see if it is still putting out over 14 plus volts. You must not have your air tubes on your tb, water could make it to the tbs but that would be the last thing I would check. A air bubble should make it to the top but help it out when the water pump is working by squeesing the top water hose with the cap tight.Did you look at the temp gauge when you turned it off when this happened?
