Default Stalling problem

Ever since I changed my intake manifolds, my car hasent ran the same, I dont know what it is, but today I was going down the highway, and i put it in nutreal to coast and save some gas lol, my car shut off. so I had to pull the E-brake to get stopped, and my brakes didnt work good, and i had no powersterring and it shut off when i was in a turn. At stop lights it sputters, and acks like it wants to stall, i donno what it is, but its making me so mad because i cant find the problem. Any suggestions?

Thanks

he means the TVcable

it sounds like a vaccum leak go over all the hoses and see which one isnt on correctly. no brakes are also from no vaccum. brake booster runs off vaccum

you might have an intake leak if you didn't retorque the bolts after you let if warm up for the first time.

spay some carb cleaner where the intake meets the heads. if it revs up its leaking. i had the same problme with mine.

if thats the cause just pull the upper, and retorque all the bolts. good luck.
