i have a 83 ford ranger and i changed the thermostat wich was an easy process but when i started the engine there was no power and it was hesitant to start without alot of pumping.when started i have to hold the throttle wide open for it to barely idle and the headers were glowing orange/i figured i put it in the thermostat wrong and broke it/so i put the old one back in just the way it came out and it started a lil easier still with some pumping but was still lacking all the power it had before the repair.?????? it ran great and idled great before the repair any suggestions on what is wrong and what i should do?
