alright heres the scenario, I was out takin pictures, drivin as usual, tried some hard cornering and acceleration, then im headin home smell somethin weird almost like a nasty smellin electrical prob, come to a stoplight and then i try to accelerate fast but whats this?? feels like someone took two cylinders out of my engine, it still drives but has little power, i have no idea whats wrong, i checked under the hood and it kinda smelled like hot tar, thats all i have for descriptions, i figured id ask you guys before i spent the $65 to diagnose the car, any all help is appreciated thanks

quit driving your car or if you do, drive it straight to the place to diagnose your car.

Without further info, i can't tell you whats wrong, so i would suggest taking the car to get diagnosed for $65 bucks. First thing i would request is a compression test.

Actually, you should be able to go down to autozone and rent a compression tester. I bet if you were nice enough you could have someone there help you out and show you how to do one, its a great learning experience.
