Yesterday, I cranked the little dragon for the first time in two months and drove it around the neighborhood. It drove like new, no hesitation, no rough idling...It was just perfect, I only drove it for five minutes. I googled "Blown head-gaskets" and apparently there are several tests one can run to be certain. I will be running these tests this weekend. So far I have not seen any antifreeze in the oil, or detected gas in the radiator, or seen the "Milky wide residue on the oil cap bottom. I'm hoping all of these are good signs, that may be it is the thermostat, or a wiring issue. I will be running a compression test and a gas test through the radiator...I'll report as soon as I finish the tests.

Thank you all for your tips
