ok so i was driving from work on the freeway and then all of a sudden my car start so like vibrate then i would floor it more and more vibrations so then when i was getting close to home i stop at side of the road and rev it a couple times and it sounds like a subaru wrx then it started smelling like gas not being burnt right anybody have an idea of what it could be that messed up.

......So when there is a problem you floor it? Not a good idea bro

mjr46

you have a misfire....could be related to a secondary ignition component such as a cap, rotor , wires or plug.....you need to narrow down the misfire to a cylinder and the average harry home owner can do it by grabbing a set of insulate pliers and while running pull wire one by one until you find one where no load change/ drop in idle is noticed and there you'll have the bad cyl...at that point inspect the wire and pull plug....you can switch the component to a known good cylinder and if the misfire now goes to switched cyl..= that'll be prob component..if however when components are swapped around the misfire stays on known bad cyl...=perform compression test and verify internal integrity of motor

lol yea make sure to use insulted pliers but i agree with above it sounds like a firein problem i would check the same way as posted above if you was doing normal driving when it happend i would say thats what it is hince the gas smell from no fire to that cylender. Good luck
