Icon2 Del Sol Acceleration Problem

last week my dumbass opened the radiator cap while engine was hot so i can put in some coolant because it was running real low but of course the cap has pressure and didnt open it all the way so i close it and just poured coolant into the reserve tank, ever since then when i accelerate the car pulls and RPM needle jumps high and then goes back down, car jerks kinda like if your out of gas. i notice that most of the time the idle is at about 100-200 RPM which is real low and then there's times where its back up to 700-800. My worry is that air got into the motor when i opened the cap but im not sure. as any know experienced this before?

Try bleeding the system. Search for how it's done. After that, we'll find out the actual problem.
