wrong section

burning water? as in white smoke?

[Blackcrow64]

He probably means like water dripping/running out of his tailpipe.

[smoke121212]

yeh a lot of water running out the tailpipe. and a little bit of white smoke.

[gthompson97]

Is it cold? White smoke is normal if it's cold out or if your car has just been started, but if it's constantly doing it then you're burning coolant, most likely the HG. A little bit of water (like a few drips per minute) is alright coming out of the tailpipe, all cars do it, but if it's like a stream, that's bad.

[smoke121212]

so im burning coolant? and if so, how do i fix it?

[gthompson97]

Well does it smoke white all the time or not? If you are burning coolant, it's most likely the headgasket and you'll need to replace the headgasket to fix it.

ok when i turn it on the car has a bit of white smoke and alot of water. it also overheats rapidly. how much would a headgasket cost.oh yeh and it ildes really rough.

the part is less than a hundred

the labor is usually a few hundred.

[smoke121212]

but with the overheating, rough idle, water out the muffler, and white smoke could it be anything else or multiple things?

[crunchymilk55]

those all point to a headgasket...

take a look at your oil, i bet it's kind of "milky"

[smoke121212]

ok good thing the gaskets less than a hundred.labor isnt that bad for me i only pay half.

[crunchymilk55]

while you're in there you need to replace your head studs. go ARP

your stock ones have stretched over time.

[gthompson97]

No sense in doing it if it's a stock n/t, just put in the stock studs.

[crunchymilk55]

whoops kind of forgot about the n/t thing
