I have a check engine light that comes on and it is a cylinder 4 misfire. I replace that plug, and 4 days go by and the light goes off and then comes back on... the plug is always rusty looking on the tip when i remove them. I am always overheating in traffic in 95 degree weather. i replaced the thermostat one day and there was no water in the hose. water pump is making noise. i have to refill the reservoir every 2-3 days because it empties.... I have a coolant leak that appears to be coming from the timing cover gasket.... perhaps the head gasket on that side, hell i cant really tell, too tight to see clearly. In the morning when I start the car, it idles VERY rough for roughly 20 seconds and steam / smoke is coming from the pipe.... Any idea as to what this may be??? this is a 3.0 Vulcan motor (the flex fuel model)
