chuggin

Patrick Rue · 05-11-2007, 08:44 AM

I have a bit of a chug goin on in the ride.

Suggestions?

I turn it on and instead of a smooth run its just a big chuggy. There may or may not be a bit extra exhaust, it may have always been that way but i just noticed it is a bit puffy-thick.

is the idle low? like, below 1000rpm at rest? what do you mean by chuggy? a hole in the exhaust causing lowered 'muffling'?

does the exhaust smell normal? not like, burning oil or anything? all fluids good? no leaks?

Checking the O2 sensors might be a good place to start. How old is your car again?

It was some stinky rinky exhaust, pretty white, pretty volumous

I had no engine coolant, or i did and id disappeared very fast.

I think it might be head gasket

anyone got a spare grand?

Shit

White smoke = coolant/water in cylinder usually.
Blue smoke = oil
black smoke = fuel

Check your oil, see if there is antifreeze in there. You may of fucked your headgasket up and then had a leak into your cylinder.

edit - I forgot how many miles you have on the car, but headgaskets often fuck up at around 60k-100k. My friend somehow got a leak in his radiator, overheated, fucked up the headgasket, which caused internal damage to his 600hp Cobra, what a sad day that was lol.

edit 2- and theres no way its going to be 1k, I forget what year yours is but in 94 they switched to a 3.1, You would be able to find a 3.1l or 3.3l or any of the "iron duke" inline 4's to swap in for 500$.

I have a 95.. .not sure what liter

I brought it to the guy I bought it from today. It made it all the way there so that's a good sign, lets hope for the best!!!

When i added coolant to the resevoir thing there, there was a LOT of garbage floating up an in there. Made me wonder if thats not the main problem itself. Pretty gross.
