Yeah, that really sucks… Stupid cars… Make sure you disable spark, because that coil will fry if you crank it without disconnecting the distributor.

+1 to hondaguy. Sounds like a head gasket. Unless you were pouring the antifreeze into the intake. lol, I’m just kidding.

UPDATE !!!It wasn’t the head gasket , I for got to put in the gasket for the idle air control valve I think it’s called that but the car runs fine now oil looks fine. weird but ok lol thanks for all the held guys
