tell me you did not refill with gas station tap water, but elected to spend 10 bucks on the right stuff~
new hose. it just keeps caving the hose

that there sounds like flow problems through the radiator...perhaps get a new radiator now~...as far as running poorly, but starting good am going to point to the IAT or intake air temperature sensor as this will tell the computer that it's cold out or hot out at the intake...combined with Data from the block temperature sensor will tell the injectors how to enrichen the mix~

find hot spots on the radiator with a thermo-spot gun...they're less than twenty dollars~
