Burning coolant on my Firebird??
Just finished replacing the intake manifold on my 1988 Firebird, 305 V8 TBI. I took it out for a drive, and it ran fine. For a while. It felt like it was about to stall if I didn't keep my foot on the gas, but it still drove okay. I stopped at a red light and wisps of white smoke started coming out of the hood. I shut the car off and went to take a look at it. The trans dipstick was BURNING hot, the oil dipstick was okay, the oil wasn't watery or looking like it had coolant in it, the smoke was coming from a vacuum hose that ran from one of the valve covers to the air filter box. Everything else seemed okay, though my radiator cap was hot, the reservoir tank was full. The upper radiator hose was very hard when the car was hot, but I was able to squeeze it once it had cooled down. There was no smoke coming out of the tailpipe. Also the coolant temperature gauge didn't go above 220. Any idea what it could be? I'm trying to be optimistic in the hopes that its not a head gasket.......
Try pulling some plugs and inspecting for moisture. Use a lighter to see if any wetness is just fuel or...water. Sometimes a sticky or faulty thermostat can cause problems real fast. The temperature sending unit may be located after the thermostat, thus not giving a true temperature reading since the water is not circulating. This happened to me. Worst case...head gaskit. Check the plugs.
