QuestionQUESTION: When check engine light is on first warning I have noticed then car start to slow down when still applying gas. Cuts out and you smell rotten eggs. I don't drive this car long miles or even daily and it may not happen for weeks. I purchased this car from a neighbor 6/08 and it had set in her yard for at least 6 MOS before then. Anyway could there be dirt in the fuel lines or tank? I had the filter change. Spark plugs and wires. Please help me from guessing what to do next. They is 113,000 miles on this NorthStar soon to be classic I hope. Thanks for any advice you may give. Have a Great Day!
