everyone needs to re-read it. I said I let it warm up, BECAUSE i have lunch break in 15 minutes, so i let the car idle for about 5 min so when i come back outside in 15 minutes for my 40 min lunch break the car is warmed up ready to drive.


as for the coolant problem, it burns it, it kicks out white smoke like i have a smoke machine for a muffler if i drive the car when its cold. when the car runs normal operating temp, you can squeeze the lines and there is no pressure.

my conclusions so far are either a stuck open thermostat, a faulty coolant resevoir, and/or a soon to be dead water pump. so its not the head gasket, I changed the spark plugs and everything looked perfectly normal. and plus with the 3.4's the lower and upper intake manifolds will leak coolant before the head gasket does and if it was, you'd be able to see it
