I love 'happy endings'...
I swear- every time I read a thread title that says ..."rebuild, but won't start"...I just wanna post CPS!, without even reading it, because it seems like it's the culprit 99% of the time.

Well crap, my happiness was short-lived. Ran earlier today to get a haircut and to the store...car ran fine. Got it in a few minutes ago to go run a errend. Pulled out onto the road, and she wont go,,,kicks and bucks when I hit the gas, and I barely pressed the gas..like normal pressure for a basic acceleration.. Got codes 34 and 51, which I reset, no codes now, but still wont go without bucking hard and stalling when I depress the clutch....uggh.

It's the CPS!!!!
Just kidding. Actually, it wouldn't hurt to try jiggling the wires coming out of the cps if they're a bit crispy with age, they sometimes loose contact.
But it does sound like an IC hose is completely loose or something.

It was a loose IC hose. The one where it meets the hardpipe in the passenger front fender. I could actually feel the air escaping from it. Tightened it all up and she is fine now.
