Welcome to the forum irvmed.


Your heater core is leaking. As for the mis-fire, if it is water related, there may be water pooled around the wire at that spark plug.

 

do u think i will damage my car if i drive it in its conditions. thx for the advice.

 

sorry to be a bother but by you telling me that my heater core is leaking does it neccecerly mean that i have to replace if so do you have an shop that has the best price. Also if i dont have to replace howdo i know what the problem istofix it. sorry if my ? sounds dumb thx for your time>

 

Well like it was said above it sounds like a heatercore problem.

You take it to a trusted mech and have them look at it. That is the only true way to tell you if it needs to be fixed and or replaced.

Also you can go online to a few parts stores and purchase heatercores for like $120 or so. Which is probably less then what any mech can get them for.

Personally I just had a leaking coolant problem in my 1999 s70 awd. Now it wasn't leaking into my car, just onto the ground. I was looking a tank of coolant every week to two weeks. So...

So I took it to my mech who I trust. They looked at it. I had told them I thought it was the heatercore. Nope I was wrong it was my radiator. I looked online and found new radiators for half what the mech wanted to charge me, but in the end I couldn't justify a online buy when I didn't know if it would fit properly. The one the mech got me did fit perfectly.

So go to a trusted mech and have them look at it.
