I brought a new fuel filter and replaced a brand new fuel pump and i thought it was ok again and then engine check light comes on and it stalls and wont restart straight away, waited about 2 minutes and then she fired up. Anyone know what the #### it could be. I do have some oil in the radiator im not sure if thats got anything to do with and i do have to refill it with water once a day. Wheres the water going? and the stalling happens every week or 2. sometimes it restarts straight away sometimes it don't.

If its an auto the 2 cores (tranny fluid n water) could be mixing inside the radiator, check your tranny oil.

It could also be the valley gasket, head gasket would be my last suspect....

Stop leak is a band aid when u can afford it replace the radiator otherwise u will have lots more problems
