Fto major problems headgasket unsure!

Post by mitsufto »

Hey guys,

A month a go my car suffered big power loss and sounds like its running on 2 cylinders. I was wondering if the head gasket has gone cause there was a milky substance under the oil cap. After dropping the oil out there seems to be no water in the oil. And further idleing of the car with new oil has shown no idications of the milky sustance.

I did a diagnostics test on the car and there a no problems indicated.

I have installed new ngk iridiums to seem if that would fix the problem but no go. Also i have an put an iinjector cleaner through it and octane booster as well.

The car idles around a 1000rpm with no fluctuations but sounds really ruff and running on 2 cyclinders and barely any power.

any help and ideas would be greatly appreciated.

thanks scotty

How many kms has it done? Does it blow any smoke and does water come out of the exaust? if it does none of these then maybe fuel filter.

the car has done 135,000kms. The car doesn't blow any smoke. But it is fueling up big time.

Get your coolant checked for exhaust gases
CHRISTIANITY: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...
