!!!!Hidious Misfires!!!!!
 
I went braindead for a good minuite and pulled off my radiator cap(witha spunge) when the cars was off and hot, burned my hand and was forced to let go and let coolant shoot all into my engine bay.........Now......i got bad misfires........on all RPM's........its been a good 4 hours and the problem is still there, anyone got any ideas? Milage 162k, Auto, Very very slight misfire before, not ign timing, new cap and rotor.

Spark plugs
 
Check the spark plugs. Take the number one off and check for water which will short the firing voltage to the spark plug to ground which will cause a misfire. If there is water there then the others probably have as well. Only solution is to blow them out with air or get a small hose like a vacuum hose and blow it out manually which might make you light headed.
In my opinion this is one of the weakest design flaws of the motor if you have the NA motor. Thats why you can't wash it. The spark plug galley just traps everything. I get about a kilo of sand in mine during the windy months.

I totally agree, mine is full of oil because of bad valve cover plugs, and getting the oil out is hard as hell! :(

ahah! That was it, but it was in the #3 and 4 valley, a broken coolant line abouve(to throttle body)and on top the that having the radiator emptied out on it filled it nearly half way with coolant, though couldnt see it. Pulled off the throttle, center valley cover, cleaned everything and changed plugs and cords, runs fine. Thanks!!
