Ok heres the story kids. I started getting a random misfire code about a week ago, and the other day it over heated on me.

So I replaced the plugs and i did a radiator and block flush as well as the therm.

But now when i crank it it won't stay cranked it back fires and puts out alot of white smoke. So i am guessing egr or head gasket issues. What do you guys think?
 
Oh noes! i just noticed today white vapor and excessive water out the tail pipe & a rough idle. The car was def'ly warmed up.

Dang!
 
^'Whew'! The combination of low temp and very high humidty made it appear i had problem - but every car had it....

aaaahhhhh.
