well the good old 3s-fe in my 2000 toyota RAV4 started misfiring today cause it overheated.

i think it could be a head gasket, how much would it cost to hire a mechanic?

and how much work is it for those diy people

problem solved

when the engine overheated, the spark plug cables got roasted so the spark wasnt getting to the cylinder.

got new spark plug cables and its back 2 life runs like new!

so driving like 60 miles on the highway with no civilization with an overheating car is bad...

ima change the antifreeze in the celica now so this wont happen again
