Need Help Civic overheating and check engine light is flashing!
i bought a civic with a bad motor so i swapped it out with another Y8
and it started to over heat and throw white smoke but it dosent smoke all the time
kinda weird at first i thought it was the thermostat because it didnt have leaks but i took it off and it still over heated and started throwing white smoke seems like its burning the coolant and thats why it overheats.. also wen it starts smoking the check engine light flashes!
could ive crossed the vacuum lines with the coolant lines???
