So I was on my way to work and had to sit in traffic due to a game with barely any movement for 45 minutes. My temp was showing 58 degrees then starting getting higher. My coolent light came on and the temp keep rising, up to 81 degrees and I could see smoke under the hood, then the oil light came on and and it started to stutter but was able to continue, but was very rough like it had no oil. Finally got to work and it felt like it was in limp home mode. In the am after cooling for a few hours it seems to want to start, everything cranks and seems close to starting, but will not start. Any idea what may be going on? Thanks.

 

What was the oil level when you got home?

 

Here is the update, the oil seems fine. On the drive home it was overheating and the temp drop to the 40's. The windows were fogging.

 

Lets just say you blew a head gasket. The compression makes its way into the coolant area, coolant makes its way into the cylinders. Pressure builds in the system and joints or seals blow due to the high pressure. A bursting point is your heater core causing the fogged windows. All theory

Start with a compression test. You may have fluid in the cylinders drowning your spark.

 

I was replacing my front bulbs, got sidetracked threw in some antifreeze and forgot to put the cap back on. So everything seems back to normal except the coolent level sensor is on and when I park antifreeze is leaking so I will stop by my mechanic in the morning and have him check it out. Thanks for the help.

 

Turned out to be a bad Turbo Intercooler Hose.
