Audi a6 2.8e keeps over heating the fan on the first speed does not come in.The water is pushing out the cap.Did replace the water pump,pressure cap,fan switch,bleed the system no air in system

Sounds as if the cylider head gasket may have blown. If the engine oil has changed to a grey colour, thats the problem. Even if the oil hasn't changed I'd suggest a cylinder compression test fromyour friendly motor machanic

99 suberban missing at idle after warm

Code shows missfire on No 1 cylider. When engine is cold it runs a rich mixture. If the missfire is still No 1 then check for vac leak on manifold. Perhaps a vac line or intake gasket.
