I've got some issues that are beyond my tech level and any help you guys can give me would be a huge help. Here is what I've got going on. 93 civic hatch with 270k on D15 motor. Only mods are intake, headers, test pipe, and exhaust. Issues are a rough idle, radiator fluid leaking somewhere, hard time starting, and going over 55 makes the car billow smoke out the exhaust.
For the starting of the car I have replaced the starter a few days ago and it didn't fix the issue. When I start the car the engine makes a couple knocking noises while the car tries starting. Usually it takes a couple times for the car to sound like its trying to ignite and even then its jerky.
The radiator leak seems to be coming from to much pressure and steam leaking out of the reservoir. Its a good bit of fluid that peaks outand some hoses have been replaced and the radiator with the motor. The motor does not seem to turn on at all...
With the rough idle its really bad. The while car shakes. I can smell gas from the misfires.
I'm not sure what's going on with the smoke other than I can't put too much pressure on the pedal or it will smoke pretty bad. It sometimes does it when I first start up.
Thanks for reading and any help or insight you can provide would be helpful.
