Hey guys, I just recently had a problem with my 2001 cobra trying to figure out what's wrong or at least what direction to head.
On my way to the gym (10 min away). I came to a stop light and as I inched up, the car all of a sudden began to shake (motor) slightly under slight acceleration low rpms. It also did it when I was moving out of first. Along with at stop I would just rev the engine up to maybe 1500rpm and it seemed to dip in to this gap feeling then back out. The revs dropped a few times at idle, down under 500rpm almost seeming to shut off but never did. I parked it once I got home, oil seems relatively normal, and no noticeable leaks yet. Since the incident, it has a rough idle, with whitish smoke coming out of the pipes (left one more then right) in a noticeable but by no means horrible fashion. Smells like gas, not really sure what a sweet smell would smell like. Not sure what to do or where to head, any help would be appreciated!
