So my cars been blowin' out THICK white smoke latley, idling very very hard stuttering like, check engine light came and went (after i flashed the ECU) and cant forget the engine temperature was spiking the "H". 1997 GT 87,000 miles
So I took it in the shop-all in all the head gakets blown out, need new studs- need work on my radiator and flush-new plugs.....$1300 dollars which I have like 300 in my account. would trade it in but I owe $5,000. God does not like me. |
