nope... no codes....

tried turning it on this morning. Did a little half throttle run the cab began stinking of antifreeze and so i thought i blew the hose again. Got out, open the hood hit with a smell of antifreeze but no pipes busted. The upper radiator was about 3/4 off but nothing was leaking out of it. Baby the thing home let her cool down and i am missing a good 3/4 inch coolant out of the resevoir. still smells of antifreeze.

been told by three people that they are 99% it is a blown head gasket.... i dont have the money to fix. Look out chevy malibu.

Run a compression test.

Run a compression test.

That wont catch a small leak that is pressurising the cooling system.

i appreciate all the peoples imput on this thread. I also appreciate all the kind words and all of the advice.

I took it to a shop that runs tests on the cooling system (as per advice from mike dunn) and it came back positive that there was emissions leaking into the cooling system. So i guess thats it, blown head gasket... then i tried to leave and the car woouldnt start for a good 25 minutes.

So im looking for a used lightning motor with decent mileage.... life with no car in so cal sucks
