Yeah, it's the 3400, but it doesn't have any symptoms of a a blown gasket. The way I'm losing water is from the thing boiling over. But, just to be sure, I'm calling around to schedule a pressure test, because I figure if it's one of the gaskets, I want to find out as soon as possible, because if that's what it is, and I just keep avoiding it, I'm going to either mess up the heads or crack the block, and I don't want to do that!! Right now, it has mostly water in it for coolant, but there is still some green coolant mixed in with the water from what was already in the system after I thought I had it straightened out a few weeks ago.
Also, do you think changing out the spark plugs had something to do with it? I know that after doing certain procedures on these computerized cars, it takes about fifty miles of driving before the computer straightens back out, in a manner of speaking. Really though, before I do anything else, I'm going to wait and see what happens with the pressure test, because I don't know how that's going to pan out. If everything checks out ok with it, though, I still have the timing to check, getting a coolant flush, changing out the thermostat, having the serpentine belt and tensioners checked, and let's not forget the water pump! Anyway, thank you guys for your help so far, and I'll keep you all posted!
