Shakes or Wobbles problem
2003 Kia Spectra 4 cyl Automatic 106000 miles

Hello, my kia spectra, i was driving it down the road and all of the sudden the engine light started to flash, so i slowed down and pulled over. ive noticed now on idle my car shakes and i hear a "put, Put" sound coming from the exhaust..

when i increase the alleration the car seeems lacking power.?

i have this weird smell as well,

the only ive done lately is gave a engine shampoo at a local carwash? -> i dont know if thats related..

It sounds like you may have damaged an ignation component. What you need to do is this. Take the vehicle to a nationally recognized parts store and have them scan the computer for trouble codes. Most will do it for free. From that, I will know what cylender has been affected and can direct you.

Do that and let me know what you find.
