I had my oil and spark plugs changed recently and the mechanic noted on the work order that I had water in my old oil. The car wasn't overheating and didn't have any loss of power though. Could this be something besides the head gasket?
Could this also have been the cause of the car stalling (like when you stall a manual, but it's an automatic) when at a traffic light? Our last car blew a head gasket, so I know what the loss of power feels like, and this is something completely different. It would start and run fine, but I'd get 3 blocks from home and it would die at a light, very similar to when a manual stalls but this is an automatic, but then was a B*tch to get restarted. It didn't die when I 'test drove' it around after the plugs were changed, but it was still sputtery at full stops. Could this be in the wires and/or distributor cap?
I'm just looking for an idea so I know if the mechanics are feeding me a line when I take it to have it fixed.
