Hello, my engine makes a noise when I accelerate in 3, 4, 5 speed but mostly it's like burning spanking bad and performance is really reduced a lot but mostly its looks shown when going uphill or if theres weight in my car is terrible, I have trouble not stalling when I a start in first speed in a climb and it's consume more. I can smell like gazoline from the foward but theres no check engine. Its started 6 months ago in winter, and when I start the engine on cold the rpm is at 1500 rpm. Spark plug is changed, oil change regulary, tested mass air flow sensor its good, Thank you for your help!

Hi there,

I would start with all thew tune related items, check for vacuum leaks and do a diagnostic scan to test for any unresolved fault codes.

Ok, he was right there was a leak from the front exhaust pipe gasket and said that his mix all my sensor is clean and my cam sensor then he removed the bump that had purportedly been created through a funnel during the change of oil is then removed a piece of sheet metal inside. But the big problem was really the leak and he told me the lump has to removen cause these important its a VVT-i engine for air helps. Otherwise I have driven the car to get home and its very calm and smooth no noise and easy acceleration all look good. It was a good decision to remove the lump in the engine?
