[QUOTE="BLK93GT, post: 14433934, member: 8618"] A few weeks ago my car started acting up, misfire cylinder 5 then random. A day or two before this I filled up with some ethanol free 91 octane, I usually run 10% 93. Car ran fine, then I went to leave my uncle's and stepped on it and the car just bogged bad. I drove it home and it was fine unless I got into boost and it had a miss. I try adding some 93 to no avail. I changed the plugs and even tried changing the #5 coil. It got worse and threw misfire on #6 and 7 too. The coolant temp went to 233* idling and I shut the car down. The plugs look nasty. I'll upload some photos. I opened my coolant reservoir and it has bubbles in it which is typical in my experience with a blown headgasket. The expansion tank gets HOT too, I'm guessing from the exhaust gasses gettin into the cooling system. The car runs horrible I took it up the road the other day after the plugs with no luck. Car is stock other than shifter and mufflers. [/QUOTE]
