The car does not idle well. Fuel smell. Extreme oil consumption. High fuel consumption. Stalls, mostly while driving. Rough running.

Hello,

We must start by doing a compression test, here is a guide to help you get the job done. If you don't have a gauge you can rent one for free at the auto parts store.

Please run this test and get back to us we are interested to see what it is.

Cheers, Ken
