Yesterday my CEL starting flashing and my car was misfiring, exhaust was sputtering, lots of vibrations at idle, complete lack of power when driving, and a foul smell of gasoline from the exhaust. The CEL is now steady. My scanner isn't working so I'm taking it to the shop tomorrow. I just wanted your opinions. It's at 178xxxkm and due for an oil change and spark plugs/wires. The symptoms seem like spark plugs or wires, maybe coil packs, or a clogged cat. What do you guys think?
Also yes I know there's not much you can guess without the codes, I'll find them out tomorrow I'm guessing I'll have a cat code and misfire code.
