Ok guys,
Still haven't fixed my problem, I haven't a chance to work on it much, but I took the TB off today and there was a little bit of coolant in the "grooves." I put it back on but did not tighten it down all the way and when I started the car it ran like it did previously, but when I gave it some gas it would keep from completely stalling. I had someone watch the engine bay and when I gave it the gas coolant was coming out from the seam between the TB and blower casing. When I tightened the TB down it no longer leaked out. Also, when the MAP sensor is plugged in the car will not really even start, when it is unplugged it goes back to running real rough and stalling when not given gas. When the MAF sensor was plugged in it ran the same, when unplugged it would not stall on it's own, I shut it off, but it was surging hard. If you guys have any more ideas they would be greatly appreciated. I'm really trying to avoid taking it to the dealer, especially considering they say they probably won't be able to come up with anything on the computer.

Ok everybody,
One more problem with my wonderful gtp.....I was driving home today, going up a hill the battery light came on, the rpms dropped, and it just died...It will start run badly for a few seconds, making a weird noise, then die. It doesn't move. Luckily I was able to get it the the crest of the hill and coast to the bottom where my house is. I checked my vacuum lines, they all seem to be right, ran the engine with the belt off and it still does the same thing, checked my air filter/ran it with the filter off, same thing...The air filter does look a bit dirtier than when I had it off 2 weeks ago, possibly an oil spot on it? Also, the engine light has not come on, the only lights that come on are the battery light and the low coolant light, and that is a bad sensor. I have a video of the car "running," I'm not sure how much it will help but.....Any suggestions would be helpful, this is my DD so. Thanks in advance!
