So I was driving home from school(I goto UTI) which is about 30 miles highway driving, and about 2 miles city driving, as I got to my exit and was slowing down I noticed that my temp was going up higher as I came to a stop, so I drove around town and the faster I went the cooler it got, so I pulled into my house and filled my radiator with water, noticing it was a little low. It now longer over heats but I have not drove it yet because, this is my main question, only when right before and at op temp and at idle the car has a very light backfire and as you increase the rpm's to about 2k the popping gets semi louder and more frequent. Engine also feels like it has a misfire
Vehicle History:
Check engine light on, OBDI, Code 35, Exhaust gas tempature sensor.
Timing is set at 17 Degrees Advance.
I usually run 89 or 91 in it but I put 87 in this morning.(Problem didn't start till after drove roughly 50 miles)
Just put in heli coils on 5 out of 8 of the exhaust manifold holes, one is still stripped. The other 2 are fine.
