bypassed tb, BIG PROBLEM!
1st off, i've done many searches and nothing has came up fitting this. i have a 93 z28 stock, i bypassed to throttle body, no big deal right? the next time i get in my car i notice that every time i try try to accelerate my car stumbles and stumbles and knocks and its sounds horrible, so i connect up the throttle body again, now i just have a little hesitation. is it possible i screwed up the IAT sensor or something? in ses light.

yes it was the coolant only...
has far as the opti, the coolant hose that is on the passenger side is connected to another hose that drops right into the engine....i kind of knocked it loose...the clamp was crap, ened up loosing all my coolant at a gas station... would that have screwed my opti?

Before buying a new opti, you might want to try evaporating as much water/coolant as you can with a hair dryer. If you do need a new opti, you should also invest in a new water pump, timing chain and spark plug wires.
Good luck

st08x, your Opti should be ok, but who really knows with those pieces of junk. How old are the plug wires? If they are all dried up and cracking, the coolant could have messed those up too. Just a guess. How bad is the hesitation?
