hi, I'm getting a few problems. First is that once in a while the car won't cool right just like tonight I only drove a few miles and the guage started going up on the way up the fan did come on but only came down when I reved it. Also i've been getting low rough idleing on cold starts lately too. Yesterday there was white stuff under the oil cap and it smelt like gas. Also when i started it cold i had the hood open and it was running and when i reved it i saw white steam it looked like come out of where the exhaust and i guess the header meets which was really weird. It only happened when i reved it though and only when the car was cold. Any clues. Someone said maybe ect sensor.
