engine troubles...
Thursday, February 15, 2007 2:12 PM
Hey, ive got something weird going with my car. At first I thought it was the spark plugs but i couldnt find a wet one so they arent fouled. Plus i just changed them about 5000 miles ago. I have a 2.4 with an A/T, every time im under hard acceleration and it goes to shift from a high RPM I can hear my intake make a sound that almost sound like a machine gun. I know thats not a very good explanation but its the best i can do. It doesnt shift smooth at all, especially now that the check engine light is on and my ETC is off. Anyone have any idea what this might be? Thanks.

If your check engine light is on, your car is saying "Hey buddy, I know whats wrong, get my code checked and I'll tell ya"

Most decent auto shops will read the codes for free. like Autozone.
