98 malibu 2.4L 72000 mileages, I bought it in 2 weeks. When the car run in a low speed (about 10m), it suddenly cut off many times in a day. The engine light and oil pressure light warning, a fired smell appearing. I just turn off it then turn on, it will work. It is very dangerous. I checked the engine oil and power steering fluid, brake fluid, coolant and fuse.
Thanks.
Thanks.

I opened the transaxle fluid open, no oil in it. If I need add transmission oil?

The 2.4L is notorious for ignition coil problems.

I worry about if the tranny fluid leak:screwy:, because ony few fluid keep in the enigine.
I have checked the bottom of the car and the ground, not any oil. If the oil will leak to other place.
