    Still losing coolant, help!

    Ok guys, this is starting to really bug me. The car is still going through quite a bit of coolant. In the past week it's gone down an inch or so. The shop that put in the new radiator said that the cooling system held pressure for hours, no problem. I don't see anything in the oil, and I don't get smoke while driving. I do get some in the morning but it mostly looks blue (I was thinking valve guide seals). Goes away after a few and no smoke comes out. Car drives perfectly fine. Any ideas? No leaks either.

    Other problems: rough running when first started when cold, stops after a few seconds of giving it throttle.
    Temp gauge shows car as 1/4 usually, never middle. Might just be the gauge though.
    Idle fluctuates between 600-900, meaning sitting at a light it keeps going up and down.

    Any ideas?

    My car randomly did the same.. Check your hoses even though u took it to a shop, I blow 1 of my hoses that connected to the firewall.

    For the Idle problem, try cleaning the ICV with carb cleaner, and see if it settles down.. if it doesn't u'll need a new ICV.
