The car set on fire and stalled in the middle of the road, blew a rod and melted the spark plugs, the computer failed and the transmission blew.
Intake manifold gaskets deteriorated, causing fuel air mixture fumes to enter into the cab. The intake manifold allowed oil and antifreeze to leak out of the engine. At certain points of acceleration and deceleration the fuel air mixture would expel into the engine compartment and into the passenger compartment. The odor had become stronger.
