“Lack of oil problem???”
Have you checked the oil? If so, what was the level?
Has it been run in the past with very little oil?
“time for tune up?”
When was the last time that the spark plugs, air filter, fuel filter were replaced? For that matter, when was the last time that the oil was changed?
If this problem has been going on for several months without being checked by a mechanic, you could have transformed a relatively minor problem into a major one. Please give us more information.
