Thanks

Yes, I have pulled the first 3 plugs and they smelled fine, not like coolant. I did a Radiator flush and the coolant level is staying put. I investigated the emissions control thing and i found the little pressure relieve bleeder valve had the cover off, i replaced it thinking that maybe the seal ...
