I just started the car so I could drive it to the back of the dealership. It started right up, runs like crap, and when I shut it off it smells like raw gas. Also has no power. Did I do any serious damage yesterday? I wasn't able to put it on the lift today. Might have had the car running 30 seconds to drive it from the sales lot to the service side and it didn't get over 10mph.

You are very lucky it shut off. Mine did the same thing. Started running like crap and missing. I parked in the lot to see what the **** was up and this happened.

When the car stalled at a stop sign, the interior filled with smoke and it was pouring smoke out from the wheel wells, under the hood, under the car. I immediately thought of your car. I have never seen an exhaust glow like that. We were cruising at 70mph without any problems at all. I'm glad i didn't try and limp it any further. I guessed its ****** at me for making it a weekend car!

Wow you are very lucky you stopped it when you did. It was almost episode #2!
