A month ago I flushed the heater core as the driver side heating was not good. Then I took it to a shop to have the coolant flushed and replaced and replaced the coolant cap.
Since then no end of issues.
Check engine light came on, drove to autozone and they read the code as the p420. As I started up to head home and think about it, there was coolant everywhere. I got a flatbed to tow me home,
It looked like the leak was coming from the thermostat housing, so replaced that.
Then I think I saw a lot of coolant coming up from the water pump, it looks like it is spraying from the passenger side and going up. So maybe the thermostat housing was okay.
While I had it apart waiting for the pump, I changed the spark plugs (iridium’s capped to 4thou) fired her up and tons of white smoke from the exhaust. So shut her off and came inside,
Not sure what is going on, but there was a lot of oil in the throttle body so cleaned that up and ordered a PCV valve.
As I am this deep I am doing the belts too.
Oh, and looks like the front air distribution block is either clogged or leaking. So need to investigate that.
If anyone has any thoughts, would love to hear them.
