ok so i was cruising my car last night, got up on the interstate, and got on it pretty hard, and so i blew a heater hose, so anti freeze got sprayed everywhere. and then my car dies. i push it off to the side and what not. and sat there for a while and still it wouldnt start. and then my friend towed it about maybe 200 feet. and it started up fine, then we towed it to his to be safe. this morning i replaced the hose and everything, car started but now the starting seems way more rough, maybe i just kicked the started lose a little or something, but when i try to drive it, it seems to try to die on take off and i can get it past 3k rpm. it chugs out and sounds like all the cylinders arent firing. why? my mom's bf thinks my distributor may be wet still or something, i really dunno. any thoughts or ways to diagnose this?

well do you have a rubber boot on the distributor? do you mean radiator hose?

no it was a heater hose. it was the one the goes on the manifold. from the heater core. and idk if i have a rubber boot on my distributor, i havent got a chance to look yet. had to work tonight. i'm gonna look tomorrow.
make sure the salt and pepper shakers back there aren't full of coolant, if so clean them out/ blow the connector out with compressed air and install dialectic grease and make sure distributor cap is clean of all coolant/ moisture
