    Im trying hard to get it back in shape..

    Its a very annoying process though. I have read so many posts & different opinions on these issues, but I have finally realized my problem is that I have multiple problems, all overlap each other and have made it hard to diagnose.

    I will get it running right, its a very nice, rust free, and tight car. I think its well worth the effort.

    Fix your vacuum issues, ensure that the vac port on the line from the booster to the UIM is connected or plugged.

    If that doesn't solve it, look for misfires and if it's just one cylinder trace it down, check plugs and wires.

    Typically the UIM gets a hole in the area of the EGR pipe. That could explain the coolant previously. You plugged the two ports that feed that leak, so you should be all set.

    One other trick to bleed/fill coolant is pull the t stat and ensure the lim is full. The put the t stat back in and finish filling the system.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
