I asked a girl if i could buy her a drink, she said I have a boyfriend, so I said, well i have a goldfish, she said what? I replied, oh I'm sorry I thought we were talking about shit that doesnt matter.
^^^it's ok. I appreciate all the help. I'm not newbie to cars and definitely not an ASE mechanic so I just like to hear different responses. Tranny fine though. I mean D4 blinking, I'll pull the code, and fix that, not a major problem though. This is what happened last night.
I was letting the car cool down and wife called...ran out of gas. What was funny though is that I was home for about an hour and had to go back out. The car did not smoke going/coming to give wife gas. Not one time. Butwhat I did notice is that when I was about 10 minutes from home I started seeing smoke coming from the hood. I immediately pulled over and it was coming from the rad cap. The coolant in the overflow was at the top and was actually boiling. Soooooooooo, seems like too much water was in the system. So possibly the engine was getting hotter than normal. Ironcially I had some coolant in the car and added it to the radiator. Matter of fact I had pretty much a full container and the radiator took the whole container. So apparently there was wayyyyy too much water in the system and it simply boiled off. So I am going to bleed the system and add proper coolant/water mixture. It was just strange that I drove the car for about 30 minutes and no smoke. Will update. I really want to make the meet tomorrow down here at the Varsity but can't show up with "Smokie"
