Ok long story...
Got home a week ago and steam was pouring out of engine, coolant leaking onto engine.
Thought I got lucky as it didnt lose all the coolant and overheat.
The source I believe to have found, the little hose going to the back of throttle body. Replaced it and think I solved that problem. While I had the plenum out I changed out the vacuum hoses.
Now after fixing the leak and getting it all back together she wont start.
At first I thought flooded. Had a few pops from the exhaust which would also make me think fuel. But after many attempts of cleaning plugs and trying to start I\'m quite sure its not flooded as the last time the plugs came out they were dry.
The battery has started dying now as I\'m trying to start it. But the battery is strangely dying very fast. Also had a horrible grinding noise a couple of times, which sounds like starter motor to me.
Need help please,
I must have either disturbed something
Something\'s got wet after the leak
Or did I in fact overheat and :censored::censored::censored::censored: it
Also when she nearly did come to life a couple of times, I gave it some gas, and opposed to the revs going up, they went down and killed it. Thought maybe the throttle cables put back wrong way round.. no, strange
Did you disturb the vacuum sensor, Its in the same area as the pipe in the back of the throttle body. Have re-plugged the Throttle position sensor back in (same area too)

Thanks will double check the connections
Got some life out of her yesterday,
I think or I hope its just badly flooded, although I\'ve had the plugs out countless times.
I\'ll charge the battery and start again with new plugs and leads see what happens.
