The only thing that scares me about puddles is the air intake.

Ok, got the cap and rotor swapped out, fired it up, bled the coolant, shut it off and started it back up a few times, then, took it for a test drive. Car ran mint! Pulled hard as ever. Revved perfectly throughout the entire rpm range.
Yee haa!

And then, packed the shop up. Decided to take the car home. Almost didn't want to to start. Cranked extra long before it fired. Finally fired and seemed ok. Until she wen to pull out onto rt 20. Stumbled, sputtered, and broke up for a few seconds before it kicked in and took off.
Drove it to my parents anyhow. Going down the road it seems ok. Very light throttle it sputter/stumbles a little bit but not undriveable. If you try and start off normally it falls on it's face before it kicks in and rockets off.
Pound on it while going or rev it and dump it it takes off just fine. If you rev it to start off like a 5.slow asshat it's ok but if you try and start off like a normal person it buck and kicks.
I give up! Fuck this car! Lol. Any ideas? Or, toss the right cash in my face and take it away. I'll let it go much cheaper than my asking price lol. I've had it
