Check your valve cover gasket, anything dripping on the motor, and your coolant system (lines and fittings). It sounds like oil getting on the motor but it could also be coolant getting on the motor although it is a sweeter smell

 

I'll have to get it into a garage and give it a massive once over. This damn thing is pissing me off lol

 

You have a cat living in your engine bay?

 

If I do I hope it died lol

 

I do too

 

Check your a/c filter thing. I know when those get dirty it causes a bad smell.

 

Typically that is what it is. Its weird it smells like cat pee.

 

where is that located at?

 

Here is a vid sandman, its super easy to do.

 

thanks bro

 

i do mine every 6 months. its usually black and full of bugs

 

Ya I don't think the previous owner ever dealt with mine. The filter was completely blocked and more bugs than ever

 

Still too lazy to change my filter lol.

Found some cheap FE5 shocks and now I'm really tempted to buy them lol

 

Still havent checked the filter but I have developed a nice misfire again. starting to wonder wtf is going on because when I did my intake **** the engine was leaking oil from about everywhere.

 

You are having a terrible time with this car. Sorry to hear about the motor blowing

Also no idea what the smell could be

 

I'm about to light it on fire lol.

If it ever gets warm I'll check the plugs and start there I guess.

 

Who is footing the bill for the repairs at the dealership? Because if your the one paying for it, no offense, but tell your dad to **** off. Dealership is quite possibly the WORST possible place you could have went for an engine replacement on a car that is out of warranty. Even on the warranty car's where they replace the engines with brand new ones or rebuild them, they wind up with horrific problems afterwards. Chances are they keep getting junk motors from the scrap yard and are just throwing them in and changing the oil. This will be a perpetual bad time if that's the case. I could sooner walk you through rebuilding that engine and it would be cheaper and run properly in the end run. Really sucks that your having such a bad time with the car.

 

I'm only going to repay him for the price of the motor itself. I think now he realizes that He should have let me do it because of how bad they fucked it up. This motor doesn't even sound right when it is running ok, I'm afraid to go wot for more than a second or two.

I need moar 2.4 swap now lol

 

Looked at spark plugs today and one of them didn't have a gap and melted the electrode. Replaced and not misfiring at the moment. (knock on wood)

 

Completely melted it?

 

Been there. Wasn't any fun. Cyl 1 and 4

 

The iridium part was melted. I am surprised it still even ran with it looking like it was lol

 

Alright guys, now sometimes my car starter decides it doesn't even want to try to do anything. I put the key in and put it to start and nothing happens. No clicks or nothing. The car has full power still. I've had to push start it once and this time I just walked away for a few minutes and came back and all of a sudden it worked again. what the hell is up with this?

 

Misfire is back. Anybody wanna sell me a running 2.4 motor?

 

A coon went through the AC condenser and radiator tonight so I had to abandon it on the side of the road. Will post pics of it tomorrow when I get it trailered home
