I had an oil change the other day and aparently when he turned the car on after I left it there the CEL turned on. He changed the oil replaced the sparkplugs and said it was fine and good to go.
I take it home it drives great for the day or so. Then it starts well. its not really a sputtering, its a small jerking along with air shooting out of the exhaust flat or hills doesn't matter it still does it. theres a burning rubber smell now and it barely accelerates. the more i try to accelerate the worse it gets.
the sputtering was bad enough but by the time i made it home, i turned the car off and opened the hood and it sounded like someone was jingling keys inside something in the engine. has anyone ever experienced that?
I had a read out and I got P301. So its an obvious misfire, I get that, but what the hell does that mean? It seems like any mechanic I have taken it to has serious issues trying to figure out whats wrong with the car. Instead of messing around with mechanics trying to spend my money, I have friends that work on cars, but to anyone who has experienced this sort of issue, any advice you could offer would be fantastic.
My car pretty much sounds almost just like an old VW Bug & I can't for the life of me stand it.
