This is the tube here. The liquid coming out is a light green and is like water so i would think it's coolant.

I bet your coolant tank cracked, See if your trunk is wet.

The trunk itself isn't but there is some near the coolant cap like in the area that is for the engine oil and the dip stick and the coolant cap and there was some on the under side of the trunk lid above that same area. Could have just been condensation though.

Check your coolant cap. Make sure it is the latest version ending in 04. Older ones are known to fail at the relief spring and erase coolant well below the proper pressure.

Okay, it’s a ~$15.00 part. Replacing it won’t solve all your issues but it’s a start.

Alright. I took out the idle air control valve and the throttle body just because and I cleaned them both since they were very dirty and now it starts and runs just fine. Thank you for the help
