EJ25RS Down!!!
So last night I was driving to the UPS in SSF and while I was parking I heard and akward buzzing sound I've never hear before, So I take the keys out the ignition and pop the hood to see whats going on. I recorded a little clip from my phone to research it later and as I put my phone away I heard a weird pop noise and a small flame occurs under my intake manifold "guessing near my head gasket"
At this point I start to panic and call 911"which put me on hold" and try to flag down any traffic for help but no luck so I run back to my car to see if the flame is getting worst but luckily the wind put it out.
The last Maintenance that was done to my car was a recall that the dealership covered which put some kind of conditioner into my coolant/radiator. Before I took my car to the dealership my temp guage would go all the way to hot on normal city driving but when I drive on the freeway the temp guage would stay in the middle, so after the dealership put the conditioner in it fixed my issue so now I'm clueless why this happened randomly.

I was told maybe a fuel line was loose, another was a leak coming from the head gasket and another was i may have possibly blown a hole on my block...
I won't know fully whats wrong with it until I can arrange a time to tow it to LIC to have a look at it.
Until then i appreciate any feedback...

I can see heat/flames in the video. I can't imagine with the engine turned off what could be making that sound!
It's almost sounds/looks like when a gas main cracks and catches fire, but what the hell could that be?? Your engine oil on fire?
Kinda like a mini version of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AqFegOhJ18
I don't have any idea, that's very weird!
