how about misfiring and occasional funny starting?

Hi ya, mines gone twice now,both times i noticed when starting from cold it mis-fired a few times, it lacked power, big time and made strange gurgling noises from under the passenger foot well, and I been told that if your red temp light comes on chances are the gasket has blown. Hope you get it sorted.
