coolent leaking? Radiator, water pump, rotten hoses, blown headgasket.
overheating? Temp Gauge, themostat, waterpump.
vac leak? cigar smoke..
Trial and error is much more fun if you got the money to blow...
ok so the compression tester showed 60 psi in cylinder 2.. does that mean you would take the engine apart and see whats wrong with it .. go get the heads checked for 150$ get new heads change gaskets without checking heads? what should i do?
should i just buy a new engine?
oh and my wife just bought a 19,995 hhr at 12% which is crazy ridiculous so i might not have a penny to spare after each month.. time to set aside the dodge aries.. or even just move on .
