Replace the head gasket (and head if necessary as it may be cracked) or
soon you will need to replace the engine. You are both getting coolant
into the engine and sharing compression between a couple cylinders --
the rough idle is a combination of low compression knock and flame

I must also note that I believe I have a head gasket issue. Usual signs of oil
in rad and anti-freeze usage. The car idles horrendously loud and shaky.

And that is one reason why, considering the rarity of the car, it must be

Thanks guys. A little dose of reality from the group is helpful some times.
I've had my head in the sand for a while on this head gasket thing. I have
had coolant loss and white smoke at idle but the Irontite seems to have
stopped that temporarily. My wife won't drive the car due to the loud
Benzaholics.
Did no one get my double entendre?

Well, first of all, you seem to have a basketcase there. You are going
to have to deal with the head gasket issue if you plan on keeping the
car. Next, if you have a rough idle, you probably have some bad
delivery valves. You will want to loosen each injector line one at at a
time to see

once its warmed up. As for checking the sensors, you will need to read
thru the 178 or so page EDS diagnostic to figure that out.
Kaleb,
I was hoping you'd have that all figured out by now. It has been a few days
since that thread. What have you been doing? ;)

Well I do have it figured out pretty much, but I doubt my problem is the
