Question Startup engine bogging

Hello again. I noticed yesterday that when I start the car and drive it around before it reaches operating temperature between 1.5k and 2k, it kind of bucks at me, but not severly. Once the car warms up, it is fine.

What happened recently? The top of my radiator is leaking, so I went and bought some radiator stop leak (should have just got a new radiator). I also added seafoam to my gas to clean my system/injectors.

To update on my engine smoking on startup, when its really warm and humid outside, it smokes more than it does if it is below say... 65 degrees. Colder = Not alot of smoke. Warm = assload of smoke.

Lemmy know if I did something you guys would have not.

Also, my running/parking lights (front, back, and side lights, including dash lights) arent working, they flickered on and off, and now are off completely. Checked the fuse, could it be the connection on the back of the switch? Headlights, turn signals, and brake lamps all work fine.

60 amp fuse in the engine fuse box needs to be good.

White/Green wire which has constant voltage passes voltage onto Red/Black wire in the headlight switch when the **** is turned to the first position. Check W/G for voltage. If it doesn't chances are the 60 amp fuse is blown. If it does have voltage then try jumpering these two wires and those particular lights should light up. If the jumpering works then the light switch is in need of repair.
