    Wasn't sure where to post this, but i figure I might as well post it here since it has to do with my chassis. Since I bought my car it has done a strange then when I am at a stop light where I am completely stopped and the chassis of the car feels like it wants to lurch forward by itself. As if I were playing with the brake pedal modulating pressure.

    Today it did a whole new thing while I was waiting at a light the car started rocking left and right. I have no idea why the car does these things. Anyone experience anything like this before?

    I bet you have a Vacuum leak somewhere.

    Kinda have a feeling of that too. I went over the engine vacuum systems with carb cleaner. Used up a whole can and found nothing.

    What about around the LIM and Supercharger all the way around? Or where the injectors seat into the heads? Is the brake booster hose secure?

    All checked. The problem has been there since I bought the car. Also recently I swapped in a Gen 5 in which I switched the LIM gaskets about 2 weeks ago and still the problem persists exactly the same expect now that the rocking/swaying is new. It started today.
