1998 S70 2.3L / T5

- Changed Water pump
- Changed radiator

After installing the water pump and radiator I ran the car checking for leaks. I ran the engine for 15-20 mins and no issues. Made sure the water was cycling and that the radiator fan was working. Checked for leaks and put everything back together.

Test drive around the block started out just fine until I tried to speed up to 40-50 mph. There was no acceleration and the engine started to bogg down. From that point I barely made it home.

Now it wont idle and I have to fight to keep it running. Started checking vac. lines and fuses but I am left pulling my hair out.

Any suggestions?
