I was trying to sea foam my 8 I took out the two cords on the left and lifted the airfilter up, I couldnt get to the last cord under the engine so I gave up and put the filter back in but I broke a peice of plastic off trying to push it in and do not know where it went. I then tryed to start my car but I would not start I tried twice more and nothing then I remembered I did not plug in the two cords on the left, so I plugged them back in and started it and the engine started to struggle and would keep shooting itself back down to 1000rpm when I tried to rev it. I let it sit for 4 hours while I was at work just came home turned it back on and it was still struggling. I put it in drive and let it idle to see if that would fix it but then it completly died.

Any ideas on whats wrong, or anything I could do??? Please and Thank you.

Cords?

I'm sorry but you aren't very clear. Do you mean vacuum tubes or electrical harness connectors?

Seafoaming shouldn't involve removing anything around the air filter, or removing the airfilter.

You remove the vacuum nipple caps here:


Which are on the opposite side of the engine bay from the air filter, near the firewall, down a bit, and you connect the ingestion tubes there.


But, at this point, I'm guessing that you either have one or more sensors disconnected (if you mean electrical harness connectors) or a massive vacuum leak from one or more vacuum lines disconnected or damaged.

Could you be any more specific? Perhaps any pictures? If you download the Internet Brands forum app, you can attach pictures directly from your smart phone to your posts here.

Here is a video I shot during my carb cleaning tests, that shows a bit better where the ingestion tubes are connected to:
