Well my car was losing power earlier so I changed the pirmary and secondary fuel filters and it worked. But then before I did all of that, I tried to take my carburetor a loose. I didn't take it all the way apart. From what I understand the carb is made of 3 mainparts(levels). I only took the top off. I unhooked some hoses, but I hooked every last hose up exactly back where I got it from. The only thing that I really messed with was the float and the throttle cable. Well when I thought I had fixed my car, I put everything back together, but now I can't keep my car on!! It's hard to start and when it does, it'll go up to about 2000 or 3000rpm and then die. When I'm on the road I have to put my foot on the brake and the gas. What's the problem. It's not the spark plugs, vacuum leaks, or distributor. So what else can it be??

Please don't make duplicate posts.... I answered the one you made in the technical section

I didn't mean to. I wanted it to be in the Carb part and not the tech. Sorry
