i okay so this stuff has happened over the past month maybe longer. i had everything going great with the car then out of no where its taken a dump. i have used about a lil more than a half gallon of coolant over 2 months and the car won't idle smoothly but when it does it runs 10 a/f. even cruising it reads 10 a./f.i've tried tuning it with the afc but it does change anything. it wants to die everytime i go into neutral while driving.even just parked and reving it, it will die. i also have white smoke and it smells like coolant. i'm guessing its the hg. ahhh it feels good to vent frustration.

"You are correct sir" but just in case do a coolant pressure test to see where the leak is coming from: http://www.nicoclub.com/FSM/.

I've never had an SR crack on me. And I've driven many SRs (not in my car!)
