2015 Sonic LT 1.4L No Turbo 63k miles on it
I tried to fire up my car yesterday but it just struggled to actually stay running. Tried the old attempt of giving it gas while turning the key. Same result, runs dead. But I got a burning smell coming out of it.
I let it sit last night, tried it later and after putting gas into it while turning the key it started up. Not much of a struggle.
This morning I got in, it hesitated once, then fired right up. I let it warm up and then took it for a run around the block doing 25mph tops. Parked it and haven't turned it on since. I took this https://youtu.be/hZaa9q7NhUE video of the car running after I parked it.
The recent maintenance on it was an oil change at 61.7k. Levels are fine. I get the oil done every 5 to 7k. And I got a transmission service done last Tuesday. The car ran fine through Friday and quit on me yesterday. I would love to figure out this issue. Or if it could have been one isolated incident and I'm safe to go to work in my car.
