i got water in my intake an car got hot an shut off an keep shuttin off then i let it dry over nite an day an its gettin hott an shutting off an it keeps drinking all the antifreeze wats wrong an what do i need to fix HELp PLEASE

 

Do not start the car again. Have you checked your oil? If not. DO SO. If it is milky (looks like chocolate milk at all) You are not going to be happy. Also. Exactly what do you mean you got water in your intake? Pics of water in intake and oil? I am betting a head gasket probably.

 

i never put my intake back on after headers an it was raining an it was sucking my water in oil is blk but there was smoek coming from head gasket

 

oil now is choclate milk

 

Chocomilk oil = blow head gasket. Time to tear the motor down. Inspect everything. replace things they need it, and put it back together. Depending on how long the water contamination was in there and it was running. You may or may not have killed the bearings. If the bearings are ok, then jsut a new head gasket most times. really hard to tell I guess. I think most would drain it all out, clean everything, andput a new gasket set on it.

 

yup, blown head gasket. clean the crap out of that motor while you take it apart!

 

so iam gettin my dad o do the work since the shops want like 1300 to do the job so iam gonna have him do it. he already did are firebird 3.4 an i think the raditator had sutmhing to do with it so iam buying new rad. this sux

 

Chances are your radiator had nothing at all to do with the problem. Unless it was empty. If you had the intake on your engine off air could have gotten into your system, causing a hot spot since air can get stuck. thats the reason you have to bleed the coolant system. Also most head gasket blows have nothing to do with the radiator. So you are probably jsut throwing money away with a radiator purchase.

 

its pretty nasty in there liek blackish brown stuff inside of it guess the person tryed to fix a leak with sutmhing an its all nasty an it look liek it was leaking also. also do you want a problem on a 3.4 fixed head gasket on it an it keeps running hott

 

Could be some stop leak stuff in there. Hard to tell. Could just be nasty sludge stuff. In which cash just getting it flushed and new coolant put in would be good. The reason your car ran hot is that is a symptom of a blown head gasket as well. Few reasons for it to do that. Since you have to drain your coolant system anyhow pretty much, might as well see if the radiator actually leaks. Just saying, we know one problem, which can cause the hot running and everything else. Another thing to check are your spark plugs while you are at it. Just to see which side was leaking.

 

i also had a test ran at advance an it was misfiring so a spark plug was getting antifreeze on it also so when we start ill look

 

ok. That is probably why the car overheated. If water can get in the cylinder, compressed air can get in the coolant system. Not a happy thing. I would just replace gaskets and make sure everything else is fine (bearings and such) And then fire it back up.. Would just flush the coolant... Never know. you may have oil in your coolant, making it nasty as well.
