I have a kenne bell 2.6 on my cobra with a issue that my tuner came up with but I'm starting to think something else. He did a compression test on my motor and got to cylinder 4 and said it was oil. I am thinking it's coolant on top of the piston. I had someone stand behind my car and it was a whitish smoke coming out of the pipes. I can almost smell something like coolant in my car what could this be thanks

Another thing I forgot to say is I did a couple 3rd gear pulls on the highway and coolant shot all over my windshield

check your intercooler pump,,

a bad pump will not set service engine light,,

a problem with the power and signal going to intercooler pump will...

very common issue for pump to come on/off on its own..

the coolant fumes are being sucked in through fresh air vent..

if you were overheating from heatercore thats other issues that would show in the other tank

+1

The IC system is separate and if the IC pump failed then that is why it was on your windshield.

Sounds like you pressurized your coolant. Blown head gasket is what it sounds like to me. I just did the same thing.

I bet your loosing coolant from the IC into the intake, which is getting sent into the cylinder. What was the compression reading for that cylinder? Pressurize your IC system and see if you have any air loss..
