Thank you so much for all your explanations, and ys, teh car is JX 4-wheel drive
The engine has only 109,000 miles! Would you know what caused all those carbon build ups!
BTW, last fall, one of the hoses to the rad had a leak, and my son (zero experience or knowledge about cars!), drove the car while steam coming out of the engine compartment. I thought he would have blown the head gasket. But after repairing the hose, the car functioned all right , till a couple of weeks ago. Do you think that heat was the culprit??
Thanks again FIXKICK!
