Tonight my car started acting up on the way home from work and running like shit. I noticed something was different this morning on the way to work, as it had a slight hesitation, but I was thinking that was from the jerry rigged copper wire (someone did it before I bought it because they lost the terminal post nut and put the wrong one on there, and cross-threaded it and now it won't come off. So the idiot wrapped copper wire around the terminal post between the nut and the post. Only reason I didn't catch is because it was twisted on the bottom side where you couldn't see it) on my terminal post coming in and out of contact, so didnt give it too much thought.
but I now have major problems. It was idling like shit as I left work, it sounded like it had some sort of exhaust leak, and it was hesitating badly. Got it to O'Reillys, had them pull codes, it pulled 5 codes. All misfires and ignition coil codes. I checked the oil, it was a tad low so I bought a 5 qt jug and got it back to the fill line.
Got home and parked it. I noticed fuel rich exhaust smoke coming out the back (could smell it and see white smoke). Had a real bad feeling so I checked the coolant reservoir. Slowly loosened the radiator cap and let the pressure relieve, then pulled the cap and I find this. :fm:
Codes being pulled are
P0303 - Cylinder #3 Misfire Detected
P0353 - Ignition Coil C - Primary/Secondary Circuit
P0316 - Misfire detected on startup (First 1000 revolutions)
P0300 - Random Misfire Detected
P0304 - Cylinder #4 Misfire Detected.
this was all I needed right now. how the hell does a 75K engine blow a ****ing head gasket?
I just bought this car 3 months ago and it all checked out. Oil change, coolant was checked, codes were checked, trans fluid was drained and refilled, rear diff was drained and refilled. Compression check and leakdown test were good. Charging system was good.
I mean wtf???
It's been running really good up until this morning. Never had any white smoke, never rough idle or anything in my coolant before today. Now just like that it blows a head gasket?
anyone know how much it's going to run me to get this fixed?
