The upper radiator hose busted. We replaced the hose and now the car will crank but not stay running, kind of like the carburetor isn't opening.

Is the MAF sensor plugged in? I have seen this sensor go bad and cause this issue. Check out the images (below). Please let us know how it goes.

Hey, I just got my car running today. Change the crank shaft you probably got some coolant on it and if it still acting up. Changed the spark plugs just did mine and she’s working good. I think I still have to change my fuel injector to stop the high idle (1150 RPMs) and get it back down to normal idle (900 RPMs) I'm not an expert, but I had the same problem and they’re both really cheap to fix and it’s maintenance you have to do sooner or later that might fix your problem good luck.
