Seemingly catastophic failure with coolant/air lines

Just finished doing timing belt and valve cover gaskets on a 2007 Acura TL base and I seemed to have crossed the hoses for coolant on the throttle body and an air line under the IACV? The car was running fine for a while but now has random misfires and barely starts.. Looking for thoughts on:

1: Where does this line that I pushed coolant into go
2: Is this catastrophic/unrecoverable

Image below of the two lines in question

I would drain the oil, i think you might've hydrolocked it.
Inspect the oil and send us a pic of how it looks.

The yellow arrow indicates the purge control solenoid valve
#1 on the link: Purge Control Solenoid Valve - 2007 Acura TL 4 Door BASE (NAVIGATION) KA 5AT (acurapartswarehouse.com)
You need to find where the other end of the tubing in question (green arrow) goes to?
Where ever it terminates, likely you'll need to vacate the coolant?
It appears the tubing (magenta arrow) runs up into the bottom of the purge solenoid valve.
The purge solenoid & the tubing connecting to the top port may be full of coolant as well?
