The car got sluggish on Friday and made a strange ticking tapping noise then.would idle properly I drove it 10 minutes later and wasn't as bad but still was not great I wasn't out in it for 3 day until tonight I did start it yesterday and made ticking noise and idling poorly and went out tonight and no tapping ticking noise when starting but still idling real bad just do sluggish and went for a run and died out 4 times when I came to stopping at a junction or traffic lights and I think it might of back fired a few times and I noticed and stronger smell of petrol or just could be the colder weather here
