Did this start happening after you did work to the car or changed something? If you just put on a new distributor, wires, etc. and now it won't start, the wires are in the wrong firing order which is causing the misfire/backfire/sputtering.

Sounds to me like you put the plug wires back on in the wrong order; or you have some intake rockers too tight.

Man if you got chocolate milk for oil that screams one thing, "ANTIFREEZE!!!". Check it out. maybe a head gasket, a cracked head, a cracked block, or something a lot simpler, no matter what if the oil is milky, you need something.

Look carefully at your temp sender, it might be a bad connection. This will cause the computer to ad massive fuel because it thinks the car is running totally cold.

Also, change your oil. You probably dribbled a bunch of coolant from the water pump holes down into the oilpan when you had the timing chain cover off.

Good luck
