There is like a burning smell from the passenger side inside the hood, vehicle hesitates and stutters, check engine light started flashing. Any ideas of the cause? Nearest dealership is 2 hours away from me.
Go to library and get an automechanic's Diagnostic and Repair book or manual.
Simply check out the possibility whether the negative response that you are getting from your car matches the mechanical data found in the repair book and manual.
AND NEVER forget to consult an attorney for FREE advice concerning laws governing the legal responsibilities of auto mechanics (there are attorneys who do NOT charge a fee for the first 30 minutes of advice) Check yellow pages. GOOD LUCK!

question for you, I have same problem but have noticed a build up of oil and gunk under the cover where the spark plugs are or in the spark plug ports.

I have the exact same problem. Burning smell, oil gunk buildup, car vibrates alot when at a red light, engine light flashing on and off, going thru a tank of gas faster than before. This has been an ongoing issue for about 6 months or so. But i was told by Auto Zone this morning that the Camshaft Sensor needed to be replaced. Doesn't make sense to me that the sensor is causing all these problems, but we'll see and i'll let you know.
I had this same problem as well until I took the car in to get a coolant leak fixed. Had the water pump replaced (and the timing belt at the same time) and I got it back and it wouldn't start. I've been in and out of the shop for a month now and still having the same problem. Replaced the spark plugs twice, Ignition coil, O2 sensor, and Coolant temp gauge and nothing has worked. The emchanic is starting to think its Electrical. Any ideas? Dealer closed down by me where I got it and the next on is pretty far, any help?
