Engine drinking coolant.

[wed3k]

wed3k I think you hit it on the head with the slight smoke that appears to be condensation or water. I know this sounds crazy but maybe the headgasket has to do with my idle issue since coolant flows through the IACV?

I'm going to swap the headgasket on Thursday. I have to go out of town this weekend so gotta get this working. I may even do the timing belt and water pump while I'm at it.

I'm gonna nip this in the bud....I REFUSE to go back to an F22A. (No Offense to F Owners )

Yea do it now since consumption of colant can prematurely wear out o2s and cats. I seent it.

Well I got a straight pipe so the $20 o2 I won't worry about too much.

Thanks for all those who helped out. Did headgasket and timing belt along with the water pump and cam seals monday. Luckily enough head wasn't warped. I'm gonna get some new fans that push more air but other than that it's cooling just fine now.
