had coolant in my intake, and now after changing 3 of the main hoses, and putting fresh coolant, at start, it acts as if its not getting enough fuel. sputters a lot, and sometimes even dies. i also have a massive coolant leak. idk where its coming from, but i need to fill it up every 3 days or so. :-\ do i have to bleed the air fromn the coolant system? is there another bad hose somewhere that i missed? i need to limp my ea82 until i finish up my ej20, about 6 months.

Have you changed the manifold gaskets?

 

Carb/Throttle body base gasket?

 

Coolant can only enter the manifold a couple of ways - mostly through the carb/TB base or the manifold-to-head gaskets.
