Changed cat. Converter, spark plugs, wires, fuel filter. Starts , runs good until
it warms up, then it runs rough, looses power, exhaust fumes smell,..Looked at bottom of the oil cap no white residue. Looked at dip stick no milky film.. I only have one thought really left and Im thinking head gasket.. This car is used to take my mother, and grandma back and forth to dr. Appts. Thank you for your help

scan for codes and check fuel pressure with a gauge first autoparts rent it. then have cooling system pressure checked for head gasket.
