Hey guys and gals.
I've been having real problems with my car lately where it wont start properly anymore (well sometimes it starts fine and sometimes it takes about 10-15 seconds to actually turn over when starting).
I really dont know what the problem is but i've heard that it could be a blown head.
I really want to make sure that it is or isnt before i actually take it in to get fixed and i dont know what to look for so can anyone tell me what the symptoms are of a blown head (or any other head troubles).
The coolant level has gone down about half a centimetre (on the overflow bottle) in the past month or so and the oil is good (not cloudy or gluggy).
I was told to keep an eye on the temp guage when i drive it and it seems normal. But how normal is "normal" on the guage, i mean where should the needle be as mine stays about the middle (between the r and the m on teh guage) but recently went close to mid of the 'o' when i drove around for about half an hour (start-stop not freeway).
Any help or ideas would be great peoples. Thanx.
Oh yeah, its a 94 EF, 6 cyclinder, 4.0l, auto. and i had it serviced about a month ago now.
