water in cylinder 2000 dakota 3.9 v6
I am getting water into the cylinders both sides so that the spark plugs foul when engine cold and takes a long time cranking before starting. Pull the plugs and I can see water vapor on cranking. Did a block test hot and cold - no combustion gases in coolant, checked the tester at tail pipe to make sure it turned yellow. I could see air bubbles in the tester but they were not combustion gas.
Question - can the intake manifold leak cause the leaking into the combustion chamber and the non-combusted air leak into the coolant which I saw streaming as air bubbles at times with the leak tester. The compression is running 140 to 170 in the cylinders cold.
