New radiator makes my car run worse

[Bernamamma]

When I start my car three times it finally starts then it is idled to high or something because when I take my feet off the brake it takes off doing at least 25. Please help

That sounds like a vacuum line or sensor that isn't plugged in correctly, but I have a hard time seeing how it coulda happened on a radiator change. Did you do the work? Start by verifying that the radiator is actually full. (not the resevoir) Then start looking around for anything unplugged, pinched , etc. Wish I could tell you more, give more info if you can.
