My 1993es300 has let me down. please offer any advice you can. The symptoms are a sudden change from running perferctly to missing badly with large amouts of smoke from exhaust and when I attemted to drive home the car overheated. I stopped asap and had car towed to my shop.Because of cold weathe at night I was unable to do any diagnosis.
my first thought is that it is a head gasket since car has 131k miles. timing chain and water pump has less than 10k.
I would do a head jasket my self but am in the middle of a move to a rural location were I will build a shop but at present i have no place to complete this job. if it is a head gasket could I get maybe three mounths use by using "stop Leak" type products,
I would really appreciate some help from experienced people. Thanks in advace
