    Found some white corrosion in the radiator on the fins (on the inside) Comes off quite easily. Only guessing i should give it a flush and change the thermostat?

    That probably indicates a leak in the radiator.

    Also, glasspack on a 4-cylinder... Not such a good sound, and anybody who says otherwise is not to be trusted with matters of such importance.

    (Ask me about the Cherry Bombed old Celica I had when I was 19... Or better yet, don't! :D)

    NEVER gonna happen! The best advice I have for Justin is this.....the next time you get a vehicle that's running...weld the hood shut immediatly!!! If not, you're always going to have issues like you continuously have.

    It's not a ricer, it's a FORD, what true blooded American boy, would want their car to sound like a ricer??? I'll have to slap you next time I see you.
    I'm sure it was ok, before you cut it off.

    To be honest, that wasnt the plan, it just happened:hmmm: But now it sounds alot better:oops:
    You didnt meet me for long dave, but if you did, you know i hate ricer, but if you have a ford that sounds like a ricer, might as well have fun with it. Alright no more joking for me, i get inside peoples heads.

    I havent touched under the hood yet, right now im trying to figure out why 2 minutes later that it wont crank:huh: Guy said something is screwy with the ignition but was fine yesterday.

    The only reason you guys probably think i dont know what the hell im doing is because ever since i got this car, ive been trying to fix the previous owners hacking. The whole cylinder head thread was because it was something i was not familiar with. I bet you there was a time when you guys didn't have a clue what was wrong with your car, did anyone bash you? I dont think so. See ya.... in about..... 3 weeks!
