Weekend of Hell (For my car)

[Infernall]

Over the weekend (Canadian Thanksgiving), I had to do a few hours of highway driving. On Sunday night, my car's SES light tripped, and ever since, my car has been in a world of pain.

1. SES Light Trips
2. Acceleration at highway speeds seems to sputter/misfire
3. Burning smell coming through vents/engine bay

My car is a 2001 Grand Am SE2 (95000 Kms).

I had the LIM leak fixed in July, but I am still adding coolant every month. I am worried that coolant is mixing with the oil, causing the burning smell, but oil does not look milky to me.

I have scheduled an appointment for my car to go into the shop, but the earliest it can go is next Monday, when the dealership has a loaner available.

Should I be alright to drive the 2km per day that I normally drive throughout the week?

If anyone can offer any suggestion as to what might be causing this, I would really appreciate it. I would also appreciate any estimate of cost for this car to be fixed. I do have an after market warranty covering powertrain, but it does not cover fun electronics like O2 sensors, and other nifty electronics.

Thanks guys.

My car is in the shop right now.

Apparently the Fuel filter is completely clogged, and my head gasket is leaking.

I do have an aftermarket warrenty, so my problems will be solved shortly.

For those of you gasping at the thought of me not taking care of the filter, I bought the car just over 10000 KMS ago, at 82900KMS, and was told that the car had all new filters.

Damn... That's nuts. At least it's getting fixed. Seems TG weekend wasn't too kind to Canadian GAs (mine got broken into).
