Power loss
Hello, I think i have a problem with the engine now. I was wide open throttle yeterday afternoon for 6 or 7 seconds, and afterwards on the way home i could tell something was wrong, the car felt rough under light acceleration from a stop light and there is what looks likes white smoke coming from the exhaust now. It doesnt smell like anything, Im thinking it is a head gasket but im not positive. Any suggestions
If the head gasket was blown would the coolant level be low, I checked the oil and it doesn't have a coolant smell and the radiator is still full. The temp only goes up to its everyday temp. But at idle it just sits there and smokes. Im assuming it does it while im driving it as well
well after the car sat all night i got up this morning and removed the radiator cap and started the car after about 10 seconds i started seeing bubbles and after about 30 seconds the coolant level just kept rising until it started to overflow the top. the coolant doesnt seem to be in the oil though. any thoughts
You blew a head gasket for sure.
You can leak coolant into the combustion chamber without it getting in the oil. Your coolant level may go down, depends on how bad its blown.
Tow it somewhere and get it fixed before you hydrolock it on startup or something..
