gotta 1.6 sport and recently been smelling a strange burning smell from my car (engine) when driven for awhile.
well last few times i've started my car and driven i've noticed a huge lack of power,and the car feels really juddery and shakey for a good 15 mins until it warms up thorughly,it also idles at just below 1k and is quite noisy.no EML light though.
wonder what the problem is coz its been fine until now,and makes the car almost undriveable under these conditions,don't really wanna wait 10-15 mins while my car warms up everytime i wana use it!i've read some stuff about cold starts and the ICV etc but it don't really mean much to me. sorry for the essay!
