Its impossible to have a quick cold start in the morning. i have to pump the gas pedal as i turn the ignition to get it going. Once it goes, i can see a cloud of gray smoke coming out of my exhaust. I give it a little gas to get going and it hesitates a couple of times until it passes 5mph. Once im on the road the engine makes these quick puffing sounds that increase with the rpms. at idle the whole car shakes a bit too much. I have to get oil every 2 weeks and yet no puddles under the car.

Some people say its an intake leak, some people say its a head gasket leak.

I dont know what to do. The smoke has this weird bitter smell.

 

help me guys!

 

I assume you have no check engine light?
How much oil you adding every two weeks?
Does your oil have a milky look to it?
Antifreeze have oil in it?
Unless you have a very bad miss(check plugs/wires ect.)....it does not sound good....do a leak down test on the cylinders.
Does it do this after it reaches closed loop?

 

engine light comes on at idle
I end up addint anywhere between 1 and 2 quarts
oil doesnt look milky actually quite dark
no antifreeze mix

it hasnt had a tune up in a long time could that be it?

 

if the engine light is coming on @ idle then what code is it throwing?????

do you know how to check the codes?
