ok car has no power and almost caught on fire lol what could it be?
got a friends car to work on. and after giving it a boost to start it idles not bad. so I took it for a drive omg no power will not rev up even of I have my foot on the ground. the tranny shifts all ****ed up. its auto with tiptronic
fuel gauges goes from half a tank to empty
then when i get back home after the 3min drive the engine bay has smoke.. I pop the hood and the driver side exhaust mainfold area has a small flame.. so I put that out fast no biggy but then it got me thinking maybe the cat on that side is clogged
2.8 think 00-01 year
insp light and abs and ever light is on lol
btw where is the obd port on it?

If its not there, it *could* also be in the rear ashtray. Backside bottom of center console.
open the ashtray and there will be a cover with an engine symbol on it. Pop that cover off, and see if the OBDII connetor is in the hole. If not, you need to get a flashlight and take a better look at the bottom side of the knee bolster on the drivers side. Like under the steering wheel and above your feet.....towards the door.
