pcv ( positive crancase ventilation ) system has issues. when it becomes plugged, crancase pressure builds, focing oil back into the air filter, which eventually close the idle, and cold start circuits. there is a chrsyler service bulletin for the PCV components - upgraded parts cost about $35 throttle body assembly ( cold start, idle control, and main throttle plate) can be cleaned with any commercially available throttle & intake cleaner. ( Gunk, Winns, etc)

What would cause the check engine light to come on also the car smells funny what could be the problem also there is no heat or air blowing out of the vents you have a 2000 VW beetle?
Is it a fish smell or a rotten egg smell ? FISH SMELL COULD BE A BAD HEATER CORE, THIS WOULD CAUSE YOU NOT TO HAVE HEAT IN THE CAR , BUT IT MIGHT NOT CAUSE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON UNLESS MAYBE CAR IS LOW ON COOLANT. ( THERE MIGHT BE A LOW COOLANT SENSOR TO TRIGGER CHECK ENGINE LIGHT) ROTTEN EGG SMELL COULD BE A CLOGGED CATALYTIC CONVERTER , WHICH WOULD CAUSE THE OXYGEN SENSOR TO TRIGGER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, BUT IT WOULDN'T CAUSE THE LOSS OF HEAT.
