Update: Got the radiator put in and filled it back up with coolant. It's leaking badly from the thermostat housing (put in a 182 stat from Americanmuscle the other day and it didn't seem to want to seal right) so I'll tinker with that tomorrow.

Now with the issue... When I went to load the car up onto the tow truck to take it to the frame shop the other day, the car was running fine, no radiator, really low on gas, but still ran fine. When I got it back from the frame shop, the car was running rough. Seems to idle fine but the engine stutters bad when I go to accelerate in first gear or reverse.. The only thing that's changed is the little bit of gas I put into it (new gas can) from the gas station and then whatever was done to it at the shop... Hopefully a full tank of gas will fix it? Could running it without coolant have tripped something in the ecu? It has a CEL on but last I knew it was a lean code


Also, I need new bolts for the bumper support beam. Anyone know the size?
