What is the code it sets when the service engine light comes? Let me guess, P0340 (camshaft position sensor) or P0355 (crankshaft position sensor) Both sensors can give intermittent starts. Get the codes, post back and we’ll see if e can help. ---

neither codes, and I took to a pro mechanic in these cars, he checked and he said both are almost new, and it is the fuel pump, got replaced , worked x 2 -3 days, back again, too it back, another new fuel pump 2 days back again, in between the service engine light comes on/off, random crank with no start , losing large amount of antifreeze , no leak, spark plugs replaced with brad new for the last year and half, the car got 170,000 and if it is head gasket in my book it is not WORH SPENDING the money, how do you feel about products that claim to fix head gasket leaks even temp thanks ---

> [@joseph16](#): > > losing large amount of antifreeze , no leak If you are losing coolant and no puddles underneath, you have lost the head gasket. I hate pour-in products that claim to fix head gaskets because they can clog radiators and things as well… BUT… if this car isn’t worth spending money on, you might try it. What do you have to lose? I don’t think this will help. Sounds like this car needs some serious work.
