engine almost over heated, maybe did? just happened this morning on the way to work.
heres whats going on:
* coolant dial gauge says its getting hot, then I let off throttle, it cools down to normal temp range in a matter of 20 to 60 seconds..sometimes.
* low coolant, when i top off the radiator and to the full line of the overflow cont. the overflow bubbles or boils? cant tell but it seems hot.
*rough idle, ( like at stop lights) but at cruising speeds of 35 to 50mph it runs smooth.
* following error codes: P0306, P0133, P0103 ( 133 and 103 talk about O2 sensor, 306 says #6 misfire)
* lower Radiator hose is luke warmish/slightly Luke. Top Radiator hose much warmer/hot. when i pull over to let it cool down a little i heard bubbling.
* coolant in engine bay, but i think it boiled out of overflow cont.
**total miles driven like that 30 miles and not any more until problem solved.
1FzFE FEFZ...you know which....inline 6, standard 4.5 L
the question: whats causing the overheating? thermostat or the misfire?
