when i'm at a stoplight and go, it takes forever for it to pick up speed unless you floor it and
i have really bad hot metal smell when i get ou of my car
will i need a new transmission? Also, the service engine soon light flashes like crazy when i take off.
When the CE light flashes, that means you have a bad misfire......if it's misfiring bad, no wonder it takes forever to get going....shouldn't be driving it like this, or you will also be replacing a cat....get the misfire fixed......was an engine swap....Possible the wires/coils mixed up?
Recheck all electrical connections.......especially at ICM and injectors....
