1995 oldsmobile 88 royale 3.8 v-6, water disappears without leaking and car ran fine, it started rough idle for about 6 miles i turned engine off and it would not start after that,it has fire from coils,fuel pump comes on, put 1 gallon of gas in the car and it started. drove across the street to fill up the car. turned engine off car wouldnt restart. coils have spark,fuel pump kicks on,you can hear it for a moment.water is disappearing from radiator.

when started again watch for excess steam/water dripping from tailpipe indicate bad head/intake gaskets.
