Okay, so long story short, I just bought a 95 SC 5 speed that according to the owner had a blown head gasket.
So, I checked the oil, no water, but there is a small amount of steam upon start up, and the temperature randomly fluctuates? While driving it goes up and down, yet when I come to a stop, it actually cools down? Then there is a massive exhaust leak and misfire, the low coolant light comes on intermittently along with the check engine light, then disappears as well as the heater not blowing out hot air.....
I'm stuck 4 hours away from home, in a town I don't know with no tools, and short on cash now that I'm stuck at a motel.
ANY and ALL constructive advice is welcome!
My only idea so far, if in fact it is for sure a head gasket, is to you use some head gasket sealer and take it easy driving home, just pulling over whenever I need to and letting her cool down til she can drive again.
Anything else I should try or check to be 100%?
