The problem is that i keep burning coolant.Im not burning any oil and it doesnt look like i have any leaks from the motor.Can you guys help me out and what i should do to solve this problem.

 

Also i motor runs real strong if that helps.

 

hum?is your resivor tank overfilling when u drive it.

 

cause i thought i was burning coolant too but on closer inspection i seen my overflow tank was over flowing and it was being psuhed out.does the fumes from your exhsust smell sweet or any other type of werid sweet smells coming from engine bay?

 

no there would be no coolant in there or in my radiator.so i would have to add and as of rite now i put a little more coolant in the tank.and for the fumes i cant really tell or i guess it aint that strong for me to smell it.

 

look for steam comin out your exhaust. sign of burning coolant. probably head gasket from the sounds of it

 

yah you could see a little white smoke from when your driving and it does it when it idles too.Do you think there could be any other reasons this could be happening because im out of cash right now.Im planning to take it to the shop to see what could be the problem.If it is the headgasket should i get a 94 del sol vtec?i have a jdm b16a

 

well do a simple diagnostic your self. preasure test the cooling system with a preassure pump to see if you are leaking only whle driving. u can also check your radiator for Carbon monoxide ehoust comng form there, but then for that u need a special tool. u can buy a coolant system preasure tester, just buy a cheap one for now. trust me that it comes very in handy when ur diagnosing problems

 

Anyone else have any advise?

 

i had a similar problem but it was my upper radiator hose was crappy and where it went into the motor it would leak out and instantly evaporate due to the high temps of the engine and i couldnt see or diagnose it but after smelling coolant i just got a new one and it has been fine ever since.

 

pull the plugs and see if they have a greenish tint. Find someone who might have a scope to check out the pistons for disscolor.
Try a compression test.
Try a leak down test if the compression test is ok.
You can put a flurscent die in the coolant and use a black light to look for traces of coolant out side of the motor.

But if you honestly dont see any signs of coolant out side of your motor. more than likely your head gasket is shot.
Good luck i hope this helps out a lil.

 

well thanks to everybodys help, but i found out what was wrong. one of the hoses were a little loose and it was leaking.

 

well i found out there was a loose hose so i tightened it.but it still seems to blow a little white smoke.is this common since its winter time?

 

anybody?
