Are you losing coolant in the process, or is their oil mixed in with it in the resovoir? White'ish smoke coming from the exhaust? Could be a head gasket issue...more details?

Agree with the head gasket diagnosis. Milky coolant is usually oil mixing with the coolant. 2.2's are known to have head gasket problems. I have had a 96 and a 97 and replaced both head gaskets.

replace the head gasket and resurface the cylinder head at a machine shop.
