o so your performance is also crapy.... sure your AC isnt on

might wanna check compresion then... tho it seems kinda odd how it just started it after geting it back from the shop...

if it was me id be super pissed thinking that MAYBE one of the jerks at the autobody shop took it for a joy ride and ran it to hard!
sure wouldnt be the first time its happened!

maybe but i dont think so cause i drove by there alot and it was always there but you never know....im gonna call mon and find out something hopefully.I think im gonna take it for a short drive for just a bit and then come right back if i start to smell anything and see if i can see any leaks or anything like that....it just sucks cause its just one of those things that you cant see right off or until later.

why would you drive for an hour with burning plastic smell and smoke coming out from under the car?!?! that's just asking for trouble

if you have no idea what to look for, be safe and take it to a shop... this is impossible to diagnose over the internet

i wasnt talking for like an hour i meant just like down a couple of streets or something....i just try to have to see if its maybe a simple fix because i cant afford to not have a car and i for sure dont have the money to take it to the shop.But i mean everything seems fine when it sits there and idles i just maybe thought it could be easier maybe if i saw where it was coming from of there was anything leaking in the first place.

Did you check under the car? Maybe there some plastic under your car and smoke got mixed in with your intake. That would probably screw up your performance.

umm well i was talking about trying to go out and see if it would do it that bad again after like only 10 minutes...when i said i was out for an hour that was when it first started and i had already been out that long.I wasnt saying that like i was gonna go out for ANOTHER hour and try and make it worse but whatever it doesnt matter i just wanted to see if anyone knew KINDA what was going on.
