overheating on a 98 gt

[allwhitestang]

alritght i got a 98 gt mustang convertible, and i'll go and run it for about maybe like 30 mins around the block or so, and it decides to not overheat, but it starts spraying out coolant that makes the engine smoke. amnit: what is goin on?!?

Where is is spraying from? Intake manifold? That is a common problem from 96-98... Check your hoses from the raditor as well.

check your thermostat housing, sure it's cracked

Your going to have to look at this closely. Dry everything off when it's cold, start it up and see if you can get it to leak at idle.

It's most likely your intake manifold's plastic coolant crossover. It's a problem on all mustang from '96 to 2001 until it was switched over to the aluminum crossover.

There's a class action suit regarding this...
