hi guys
Havin a bit of trouble with the 4AGZE. The car was running fine until the other night when i was moving my car from my drieway to the street (semi-cold start) and i stalled the car backing out (new clutch  ) when i tried to turn it over, something felt odd in the engine, and it didn't turn over for an unusual longer period of time (about 3 secs) but it eventually did. I didn't take much notice thinking it was because of the engine being cold/no warm up, so i went to bed.
Next morning i drove to work, goin out of my street, there was unusual backfiring and popping out of the exhaust when i revved it, (car was not coming on boost either) so i pulled over to see if one of the leads in the coil pack had popped out, but everything seemed fine.
This happened all the way to work - but at high revs it seemed to be ok (still abit of popping).
During the day, i had to go many places, and sometimes the car would be ok, but other times it would just be so boggish and would go no where.
What is happening??? it definately sounds like an electrical problem - and causing it to run on 3 cylinders at idle and then occasionly running on 4 at higher revs.
ALSO when i warm up the car in the morning, oil seems to be burning (smoke coming from under extractors) - but i only noticed this 2 days after.
HELP!!!

teh GZE has bad design that allows some water to sometimes get under the spark plug cover and get onto the terminals making it run on 3 or 2, happens on my aw11gze sometimes. WD40 tends to fix it.
