Thanks for that, but what I meant was more like... Explain what the water would do other then get hot... Then steam... Everywhere... Is it that apparent which cylinder is hotter? Just doesn't seem like the best way there..

So I finally fixed it now. I pulled out the o2 sensor and it was jet black from running so rich. I figured even if it wasnt the cause it prob needed replaced. So i replaced it with a new delphi unit (about $45) and also bought the o2 extension with connectors instead of splicing the wires myself and now it runs great!
