ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:RADIATOR ASSEMBLY
WHEN WE PURCHASED THE CAR, IT HAD 120,673 MILES. ABOUT 3 MONTHS AFTER WE BOUGHT IT, WE STARTED EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR OVERHEATING. THE TEMP INDICATOR WOULD RISE TO HOT, STAY THERE FOR ABOUT A MINUTE OR MORE AND THEN GO BACK TO NORMAL. WE PUT IN A NEW THERMOSTAT, BUT OCCASIONALLY THE CAR WOULD OVERHEAT. BY THE TIME WE PULLED OVER TO STOP THE CAR, THE TEMP GAUGE WOULD RETURN TO NORMAL. THIS HAS CONTINUED, INTERMITTENTLY, UNTIL LAST THURSDAY. WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, THE TEMP GAUGE ROSE TO HOT, THE ENGINE STARTED TO MIS-FIRE AND I SAW BLUE SMOKE COMING OUT THE BACK. I MANAGED TO GET THE CAR HOME, BUT IT NEVER STARTED AGAIN. WHEN WE CHECKED THE OIL, IT WAS UP A QUART. (MY GUESS IS ANTI-FREEZE IN THE CRANKCASE.) LOOKS LIKE A BLOWN HEAD GASKET. I HAVE SINCE HEARD RUMORS THAT IT MAY BE A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THAT ENGINE.
