Any help will be great. I went to Advance Auto and had a guy read my computer and I got several trouble codes. First I will explain the symptoms. A) when I drive I get a very accrid smelling odor after I park.
B) when I try and accellerate, the RPMS shoot up as if I wasnt in gear, but I am, and I slowly accellerate. Its a weird thing to explain. Its almost as if the gears dont catch. but I know they do, cause i can still go.
C) sometimes, while accellerating, the car will start to lurch, and bog down...If i turn it off and on again, the car usually runs with out doing that, however, problem B) is a constant. Both warm and cold weather.

Now, trouble codes.

P1491
P1259
P0171
P0420
P0401

Do all of these "symptom codes" lead anyone to a specific problem (that I can try and fix without buying a new car?) and do they have anything to do with my cars driving symptoms??

P1491 EGR lift sensor detects low flow;The lift sensor and the map sensor do not have agreeable readings.
P1259 Vtec Solenoid malfunction, perhaps low oil pressure, or low on oil.
P0171 system too lean, this could be caused by the EGR fault as the Exhaust Gas being fed into the cylinders richens and cools the combustion.
P0420 Caytalyst system efficiency below threshold value
P0401 Exhaust gas recirculation low flow as reported via the MAP.
I think that the largest part of your problems are due to the EGR system.

There may be Emission Warranty Extensions; the dealerships in america will repair the problem for you at no charge.
You might want to investigate this further.
