Pre problem:
My water pump blew out on me, so I took it as an advantage do several jobs. I removed the intake manifold to change seals on my bitch tube, and also went ahead and painted the intake manifold and thermostat housing, while doing their respected gaskets. While doing the water pump I also did the camshaft seal and Oring.
Now that you know what I've done to the car last week, here's the story. The car has been running well, in normal operating temperature the last several days I have driven it. Today I went on a drive with the lady and turned on the AC, it's 102 degrees here, and the car immediately started to crawl past half way on the water temp gauge. I turned the compressor off before the car could reach the third mark on the gauge. As the temperature reached back down to half way the motor seemed to have a small power loss and on deceleration the car popped like anti lag. When I would come to a red light I had to keep the rpm up for the motor to not stall. Now that the car is in the garage I can get it to fire but not stay running. Any clues?!
Edit: after the car has cooled down, I went out to give it a start and the first try yielded in a start, but no idle and died. The second crank I gave it a bit of throttle and it fired up and idled after holding the rpm at 2000 for several seconds.
