Ok i got a 88 2+2 that has a major over heating problem. the radiator is empty and the motor still runs its been sitting for about 3 months after i bought it from some one who overheated it ie. car accedent, i poor water in and in 2 seconds its out under the engine. The first time i got it i started her and only a little smoke (white) then cleared away a month later i started her and so much white smoke came out i thought i'd kill the O-zone layer for DC. then today i went to do the ECU led mod to see whats up with the ECU and it didn't light up. i a fit of confusion i tried agin and agin. then i thought the led was bad so i put it on the battry and it worked so i gave up. then i said i'll just start her ......and wala only a little smoke??? whats with this i havent done the compression test but i will tomarrow can anyone tell me whats going on do i need a new engine of a need radiator?

i barely understood a work you just said, by what i understood you said, it sounds like you may have a hole in your radiator or a bad hose, if its anything more serious you may need to rebuild/buy a new engine because thats why my motor is gettin rebuild right now (something about the coolant). my advice is to check your radiator and hoses and if you need to, take to a radiator shop

if i check the compression and find its good but the leak is the main seal how hard is it to chang it out

I hope you did not drive the car without coolant. If you did yes, you will need a new motor

and a lack of the ability to hold coolant is more than a overheating problem.

You need to fix the leak first and go from there.

The coolant drain plug on the motor might be missing...
