Would anyone happen to know all of the symptoms that lead to the headgasket blowing in a 3.8L? I'm asking because the past couple of days, my car has been running funny when I start it up. Sometimes, it would suddenly idle really roughly, like the engine was choking or something (it would go away only after I rev it up a little) and I have also noticed a slight decrease in power. Also, ever since I got the water pump replaced, the thermostat's been running a little hotter than before (sometimes it would it between the "N" and "O" in "normal" when I'm just coasting down the street) - the fan has even had to go on Hi a couple of times, in 30 degree weather too!
Am I just being paranoid or should I start looking for a new Taurus (*cough*SHO*cough*
)?
Thanks a bunch guys!
