Struggling Start-Up & Rising Coolant Level
Hey, I've had this 1988 Legend L (79,400 miles) for two years now. It's never given me much trouble but just recently its begun struggling during a cold (sitting over night) start-up. It sounds strong when it first starts, then the tach flutters for a moment and then it usually dies. I can restart it immediately afterward and it's fine. Any ideas? I've read some old threads and I noticed that leaking fuel injectors can cause a similar problem, but I wanted to get some more ideas before I went into the shop. I've popped the hook several times to look for problems and I don't smell fuel or anything and I haven't seen anything to suggest it.
At the same time, the level in the coolant reservoir has been increasing. I could walk outside right now (11 PM) at night, after its been sitting for several hours and the coolant level would be way over MAX...the engine hasn't been getting hotter and is nowhere near overheating. I'm thinking there might be something plugged up in the radiator, but I imagine that would make it overheat pretty quickly. Oh and occasionally, when I start the car or shut the car off it makes this sound like there is rushing water going somewhere, but it's definitely not leaking anywhere. Any ideas?
