Default Something weird happend

As I was driving to work, the lower radiator pipe poped out(didn't attached the clamp properly). Anyhow, from the place that the coolant leaked to the nearest gaz station (about 1 min drive) the car was behaving normaly, it was like the problem never existed. Go figure

Default Guys, you wouldn't believe where the problem was

So, after after few ours, playing with everything that I touched when changing the timing belt, I finaly found the problem-it was the connector to the MAF-it wasn't plug complately. Now the car is amazing.
By the way-it turns out the the CPU from 2001 is working with the ATW, but you got the CEL wich in turn is "Can not get proper reading from intake manifold" or something like this.
Thanks again for your help. :-)

Default I would still confirm the ECU part numbers, the erratic behaviour maybe...

there is a vacumm hose that is leaking the radiator hose pops off... and the coolant sort of temporarily plugs up the vacumm leak.
Now I am speculating wildly with all that.
1. Check your ECU part number.
2. Have you coolant hose replace / repaired
3. Pressure check the intake system - there may be a leak somewhere that is causing all your problems.
