Renault Megane engine revs low & spluttering

Car: Renault Megane
Variant: 1.6
Model Year: 1998
Categories: Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
When i start the car up the revs are only just reaching 500rpm and the engine is spluttering. I can't drive it far as it cuts out alot and can smell oil burning when the engine is hot.
