My wife just drove our '99 blazer with a hole in the radiator. Almost made it home and it shut down on her. Now it's very hard to start, and when it does, it runs very rough. could there be serious damage, maybe a blown head gasket? Help!!

Posted by Anonymous some time ago

Slight or lean misfire - causes? It is not a full misfire, so that rules out electrical problems IMO. It's not a constant roughness; it feels like it's coming from one of the cylinders.
