Had a new head gasket put on it also a new water pump and timing belt .
After all that it wouldn’t start. So I took it to a local shop and it had a shorted out wire to the starter.
He also told me it had a vacuum leak and an exhaust leak. Fixed the vaccuum leak .
Drove it short distances then it started overheating. Replaces thermostat and housing. Still wanting to overheat.
Also sometimes It will have smoke coming out of the tailpipe.
Compression in cylinders is good. Shop owner also told me it was running on 3 cylinders. It has a misfire in cylinder 4.
Spark plugs look good. What is causing overheating issue???
Now it won’t start again
One thing at a time.
Why was the head gasket replaced ?
Was the water pump bad ?
Was the car running ok before the timing belt replacement ?
