    Default wtf

    Does this sound like a blown head gasket?

    Car idles extremely high at start up around 3k
    then jumps non stop from 1-2.5k

    also constantly runs out of water it has a leak somewhere. Today i noticed all of this after not driving it all weekend. My dad put antifreeze in it and it no joke all just poured out somewhere.(maybe its a plug or something) but i dont know where my dad said not under the radiator or anything.

    What does this sound like? maybe im wrong and it could just be two problems one with the iacv and the coolant.

    Problems all started after i was jumping someone off and letting it sit for a long time without turning the fan on and before i noticed, it was smoking

    could just be a leak, use one of those pressure tester and pump pressure into your radiator to see where air is coming from/or where it's leaking... also does a LOT of smoke come out of your exhaust?

    pressure test the system to find the leak. the idle issue may be the iacv.
