weird smell coming from my engine
after my car got jacked! my engine has this burned smell. it smells kind of like a short battery smell. at first i thought it was the exhaust manifold because i spilt some oil on it once beforecand they kind of smell tha same. and ever since i got my car back the car sounds loud, i can hear the belts running, usually not this loud. thers also a hiss sound from the intake. the engine seems to look fine but the inside of the car was all torn up. the outside it a total mess... makes me **** just thinking about it. 
and my f*ckin abs lights keeps coming on just for a few seconds or when i go over a bump or something. please help!

sounds like they took your car for quite a joyride. i guess the only thing i can suggest is just get under your hood and start inspecting things. not a lot any of us can do here on the internet for yah. idk maybe somebody else has some other suggestions for yah. good luck

The hiss is normal, belt noise is most likely normal as well.
IMHO you're probably just paying extra-close attention to your engine's noises.
As for the smell, it's pretty hard to diagnose over the net. Does it smell sweet at all? Or is it more acrid?

Re: weird smell coming from my engine (blu3_hatch)
when ur car got stolen, did they take the rims or damage them anyway? ABS light could be alot of things...i'd check the plugs on all four wheels first then check if anythings bent or out of shape...gl though
