Engine Issue
I've started experiencing problems a few weeks ago... First thing I noted that the exhaust would have quite a smell to it whenever making a complete stop and others noted that the car would spit out clouds of smoke. Then I had a few instances of chatter upon start-up which I figured to be the cam-chain tensioner, however, my case was mild and only experienced a few times I believe. Now for some reason the car runs fine up until about 5k rpm where as after just starts to break up like it is almost hitting the rev limiter however it seems to get some fuel and struggles violently toward higher rpm. I'm not sure what the problem is and would appreciate any help. Thanks.

Thanks for the help, is there any way the cam-chain tensioner could be the cause of the problems? I doubt it's bent valves as the engine runs fine as usual up to a certain rpm. Thanks.
