RE: HELP PLEASE!!!
ORIGINAL: atmkzero
just bought a 95 GT 53000 mi. ford motor sport super charger (6 psi). it ran great yesterday, but today after i was driving it it, i noticed the coolant running cold and the oil running hot and im getting a wretched clunking that i fear matches up with the engine and could be a piston...when i opened the hood it smelled like burning oil and was kind of hot...the car wasnt a daily driver with the previous owner...could this just be it getting used to my driving or should i just fling it and my self off a cliff.. kinda agrivating when you blow 2 years of pay along with your life savings on your first car ever to have it blow up a day later[:@][:@] if anyone has any idea what the problem is please let me know. its running synthetic oil and it didn't seem to be down on any fluids. the sound seems to be the loudest when applying acceleration but is pretty quiet during idle or no throttle.
thanks

RE: HELP PLEASE!!!
Glad to hear everything worked out OK. I thought it might of been an exhaust leak but Im not sure about the burning coolant? Would an exaust like cause you to smell that? Did the smell go away after you fixed it?
