I parked my car last week and went to start it today. It turns over and fires but won't start. The radiator is pressuring up while trying to start it. I pull the radiator cap off to release the pressure. No water in oil either. Anyone no what to look for

 

Fuel, compression, ignition.

 

Okay, let me get this straight.. Car does not start.
you take the cap off the rad, and it pushes coolant out the rad??

If so, it is a head gasket.....

 

correct and I thought it was a head gasket to but there is no coolant in the oil?

 

Headgasket as your compression is pressurizing the coolant.


Headgaskets are not always coolant and oil mix.

 

Is there a way I can check if it really is the head gasket? Maybe check the compression? If so what is it supposed to be

 

Yeah. I guess do a compression test and list the results.

Either way, they make testers and you can even put a gas analyzer near the coolant to see if it is a headgasket.
