Once it gets up to speed, you can still feel the engine running rough. Smoke isn't really noticable at highway speeds. Gas pedal is basically an on/off switch. I knew these things were slow... but not this slow. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Using water instead of coolant masks the smell?
Steady miss?
