Default Headgasket??? what else could it be

95 h22a1 with 133k on it.. Its runnign very poorly.. i was getting acode 43, but since then i replaced with a new O2 sensor (walker oem plug in) but the car still runs like CRAP.. Its running really rich and fouling out plugs... Also the car reads NORmal temperature on teh stock gauge, but it overheats when i plug the autometer gauge into the stock Temperature sensor (tap into it) .. it reads like 220 then i shut it down! I have a c+r racing radiator and just replaced the thermostat too!

The car just idles like crap,and drives really shitty.. little hesitation and etc.!


wat else could it be

is the motor pining/detonating at all?

i could be way off but maybe its some kind of timing issue.

the coolant sensor i believe is located on the left hand side of the motor toward the front.
