Need A lot of Help!

[xI Dsmman Ix]

I need alot alot of help. See I just finally got my 420a-t running again after a recent head gasket replacement, everything sealed up great and no vacuum leaks either. Well first of all here comes the retarded part, to keep my idle going I had to adjust my throttle cable back so that it'll stay idling, that's problem number one, not sure if that has to do with vacuum but it wont stay idling if its resting on the governor screw. And the car sat for a long time so when I went to drive it, smoke comes out of the exhaust, I mixed brand new gas with the remaining gas that was in there which was like nothing. I'm not sure if that from that old gas or not, maybe I'm burning oil or something. When I start it, it sounds like it going to die then it goes to about 800 rpm and stays there... Well long story short I take it for a spin even though this smoke coming from the exhaust ( not too much but it is) then I decide to give it a bit of a small launch, well shortly after I hear a clinking noise coming from the front left side, I make it home and I try to see what it is but I couldn't see anything. Well I take it around the block and it seems the clinking only happens when i'm not accelerating nor braking. Well I pull up to park and I turn and my wheels just lock up out of no where, I try to put it in reverse and it rolls about 5 feet then locks up in reverse. It locks up both ways, even in nuetral with the clutch engaged. I'm so confused with this car I dont know where to start with anything. And as you can see i'm new to working on dsm's. I did get the gasket good but it seems like everything else is falling apart..

ok it sounds to me like you have a vacuum leak... or your iacv is shot.... any cel? and is it a manual or automatic?

I went to Autozone and the only code that came up was EGR but I have a block off kit so I knew that would be on, other then that no. I'm more worried about if I blew my trans or something. I didn't launch to hard but that clinking got loud and when I turned a big clink happened and both wheels just locked up, like I said even in neutral with the clutch in its locked up. Car still runs fine in neutral too. I'm so very confused.

ok try this... pick your car up in jack stands.. and see if you can turn the wheels.. if your you turn one wheel and the other one turns the opposite way then i gotta say that only points to one problem... its busted..... did your tranny have oil....

I actually snapped 2 wheel studs and it jammed the hub stopping it from moving haha. Okay fuel and Idle issue. Well when i first start up the car from cold its a hard start, sometimes never stays idling, but when it does it drops to 200 rpm then goes to the normal 700-800 rpm's, also when is runs smoke comes from the exhaust, but after the car is warm it stops, I wasn't sure if that was a fuel issue or what. Also to keep the car idling the throttle isn't even on the governor screw its about a quarter inch from it, I think I may have the throttle cable upside down but I'm not sure. Can anyone help me out? if you need more info I could definitely give you it.

Also when the A/C kicks on, the car about dies, it runs at like 200 rpm and just dies with A/C on, Oh and what would cause coolant to escape from the top seals on the radiator? I blew a radiator I suppose.

What color smoke is it? It may be vapor, coolant, oil... Also give your idle sensor a quick brake cleaner clean
