Just wanted to check. I did a search and found several instances that coincided with my problems. I replaced my belt tensioner and the elbows that run through it. These are the problems:
1. Sweet smell (inside cabin and from engine bay)-have smelled this for the last 2 weeks or so.
2. White smoke from exhaust
3. Burning white smoke from area of replaced elbow (under air intake)
4. Extreme aggravation of the engine at startup. It jumps from 800-3000 rpm a couple of times and holds at 3000 for about 5 seconds. It dies if I do not give it gas until the amps build up.
5. Slight loss of power and lag in acceleration. Doesnt really accelerate unless I punch it.
I have a good idea that it is the head gasket but wanted some responses on other possible problems if there are any.
