My friend had a Jeep with the same symptoms. He thought he had a cracked block. His mechanic said it was just gunky buildup. Have your coolant system flushed and see what happens.

Help, Lost Keys
I lost my keys to my 89 Supra and can't find the spare. Can a dealership make one for me if I give them the VIN # or will it be much harder than that?
