Q: if your sure its coolant. you could have a intake gasket problem coolant passes through the intake. only way i can think of that would wet all eight cyls with coolant. -- -chris 05 ctd 99 durango heres a followup to a post from earlier this month. i picked up my truck from the repair shop and they said it started and ran just fine. i drove it for several days without any problem. then one monring it did it again. engine would turn over and it was making an effort to fire but would never catch on. this afternoon i purchased a fuel pressure tester and the pressure tests out at 42 psi and stays constant with the ignition key on. i pulled the front 4 plugs and each was covered in fluid. i held a match to one of the wet plugs to see if it would burn and it didnt. i guess the mechanic was right when he said that the engine had a blown head gasket and the plugs were wet with coolant. but how could a blown head gasket put coolant on every plug unless the head gasket was totally obliterated i could see maybe one or two cylinders being affected but all eight is there another way that coolant could be getting in the cylinders please help!! .
