I think i might have a blown head gasket cause i been losing coolant water for weeks. I think the car was overheated. Everytime i would leave the car on the thermostat would read at high and goes up and down but when driving it is back to normal. At first i thought it was the tw sensor but it was not. At times i do have problems starting when the engine is hot or cold and it would crank. It would also flood sometimes. I need some suggestion to fix this real quick. This is a 94 honda accord with 165k miles on it.

 

is your exhaust gas abnormal in any way?

 

somewhat i think there is no white smoke but i see a little water dripping from the exhaust pipe though, is that somthing.

 

I would highly recommend you to see if the fan work, i know it sounds silly but that's what happen most of the time.

honda's engine overheat ALOT faster than without the fan than most of the other cars i worked on.

check the coolant, see if there's any oily mily color.

 

yes the fan does work and yes there is an oily substance in the coolant.

 

Sounds like a head gasket if the fan works and there is oil in the coolant. have fun with that it is really simple and should only take a few hours.

 

get a head gasket tester from snap on it will tell you exactly what u have, do you have white smoke? at idle?

 

no white smoke at idle and how much do the head gasket cost?

 

head gasket doesnt cost so much compared to the other gaskets you will need aka exhaust manifold gasket, intake manifold gasket, cam seal gasket. basically everything, but anyway the labor is an insane amount. but you should really get the head gasket test, it is way worth it.

 

so ur saying that i need a head gasket tester for snap on but not the other things such as aka exhaust manifold gasket, intake manifold gasket, cam seal gasket.
