Uhhh yea...


Anyway, it sounds like your car is dieseling. My daily driver did this and it turned out to be a large vacum leak. Your timing can cause this too.


I had a problem with my coolant also vanishing with no puddles under the car. The weep hole in the waterpump was slowly dripping. Never knew it until the waterpump 100% crapped the bed.
