So lately its been cold and its stuggling to Stay started some times it even dies on me.

As i start it take longer than usual.

Also Lately ive been smeeling coolant, and oil (burning).

But my temp is fine so i hope i dont have a BHG what do you guys think it is??

Another thing.

After chagining the cluthch i noticed that at low speeds when the car is free rolling i hear a slight thump at intervals of 3-4 secs.

EXAPMLE im going 45 then i start to slow down i feel the thump a couple of times, then as im going about 25 and put the gear into nuetral. I can feel/hear the thump.

It only happens when im going at slow speed and when im coming to a stop.

Any one know what it could be?

Try switching the AFM and see if the problem goes away.

As for the clutch, it sounds like a bad pilot bearing or a bad throwout bearing.

You need to pull the trans IIRC to change the throw out and pilot bearings.

Pilot bearing is around $5-10. A throw out can be as much as $40+
