Usually if its your head gasket you'd be pushing coolant out the over flow because its over pressurizing the the system.

Jason, yes that has happened. Coolant has come out of the overflow nozzle on the bottom of my reservoir a few times. And when I unscrew the cap to depressurize the system TONS comes out and I'm left with the coolant level not even reaching the tank.

Also getting misses and I have new plugs and coil packs.

Ouch! Coolant smells like exhaust, coolant routinely being push out of the system....I think Jason broke the code.

Consider this post the official start of a head gasket replacement fund.

Any help is appreciated
