Why is Check engine light on and my car riding rough/shaky with a putting noise?
What is your question?
My car's check engine light is staying on. The car was driving kind of shaky with low acceleration. It felt like it wanted to stall. The noise reminded me of a car with a hole in the muffler or a car needing new spark plugs. I also noticed a strange burnt smell after turning off the ignition.
What makes this problem better or worse?
Increased speed over 30 mph
