Default New Radiator installed, now S70 floods

I just put in a new radiator in my 1998 S70 non turbo sedan. Car had a very hard time starting, ran rough then evened out. I let it idle as I checked for leaks. However, it will not accelerate, it dies. Then it is extremely hard to start. My guess is that I failed to reconnect a critical air line, though I only see two very small ones that I removed for the fan. All connectors are accounted for. All my reading tells me it exhibits symptoms like Mass air sensor failure or Idle control.

Any thoughts?

Default Turned out to be a battery

Hello,
Hard to believe but per the mechanic it turned out to be a dead battery. New one is in place and now all is well except for a sticking accelerator peddle.
