Problem.
This is almost becoming routine...but anyways..
K, i was heading back home from my friend's place and...my engine cuts out....uhm..ok.. So while in motion i restart it...and it sounds like 2 cylinders are working or something...and after 3 seconds it cuts out again... I pull along side the road...and my other friend was coming the other way (biggest ****ing FLUKE in the WORLD) and helps me out..i start up the car..and we drive to his place..like 100 meters away..and the car's engine cuts out again...now im getting pissed.. When the engine cut out the first time i smelt something burning..not good...REALLY not good.. I also noticed the car cuts out when a violent jerking or turning motion is made...which is typical for my driving..as i shift hard and take turns fast... So i was thinking one of the battery electrodes was loose.. I re-tightened them and i didnt have problems getting home..the only thing that was concerning was that burning smell

check to make sure that the wire connecting the ignition to the distributor isn't loose. Happened to me.

the winning noise you hear could be one of two things.
1, bad altenator 2. incorrect timming belt tension check these 2 things out
