You need to stop the home remedies. You're not helping yourself. HC is best described as "unburned" fuel. That means the fuel is not burning completely for one reason or another. It's usually a misfire type thing that you are looking for. If you're consuming coolant, it could have something to do with your problem if the engine is burning it. That engine is also notorious for intake manifold gaskets leaking coolant and/or vacuum.
