engine ticking on front driver side and has a burnt smell
What is your question?
upon driving in town I noticed a ticking sounding like plastic in bicycle spokes on front driver side along with a burnt smell? I stopped checked oil level it was low so I added more just below max line on dip stick. I then drove home then car drove with a shake but no more smell or ticking. just runs shaky and sluggish. I made it home aprox 4 miles and parked. I waited 30 minutes and restarted but have not drove anywhere yet. I'm to scared
What makes this problem better or worse?
excellerating and just driving at this point

Hello, if your oil level was low -- ticking noises could occur from either the valve train or base engine. It's too hard to know without hands / ears on inspection by a professional who is familiar with the noises. The good news is that your noise and smell is gone apparently -- but you may wish to consult a local professional who can be of assistance. As far as the shaking -- diagnostic testing will be needed, of the engine and it's performance -- including of fuel delivery, ignition spark, emissions control, air intake and base engine compression.
