Is the coil wire clipped all the way in? Actually happened to a friend when he changed wires and two weeks later the car died, towed it home and found the coil wire was clipped all the way in.

That said, before digging into the opti I would suggest looking at the ign module/coil or even fuel.

But it also sounds like you have a pretty serious coolant leak?

Coolant leak is a negative, the clip slid off of the hose connecting the radiator and overflow tank. And as for the other thing, gonna check it today. Thanks for the tips.
