Check if your valve covers if they are leaking oil onto your headers. You didn't really give us much info besides saying there is a smell. You gotta look around for it. For Trouble starting I would start by checking the volts of the battery after letting it sit overnight. Something could be draining your battery or it could be something else. How many miles on ur C320?

oh ya sorry i was in a hurry. it has 58,000 miles i looked at the normal stuff like air filter stuff like that. its like its not getting gas or labored starting not battery it turns over good. its like it chugs???? ya you know there was a little oil on the valve covers. the smell is when i get out from driving for a bit... its weird its like a burnt wire smell.
