Hey guys, sorry for making another topic so soon, but my GP is running horribly and I'm hoping someone might be able to tell me whats wrong so I could get it fixed. I'd take it to a shop tomorrow morning, but most of the shops around here charge outrageous prices if you don't know exactly what wrong with your car. I've had bad experiences and I'm hoping to get one step ahead..
My cat went bad a little while ago and I've been looking into getting new headers or a cat-less downpipe. I don't have the equipment to change headers though.
ANYWAY, I pulled up to a stoplight on my way home from work (Tuesday night) and when I came to a stop my car started shaking really bad. The lights started dimming and the engine felt like it was going to stall. The exhaust got louder and really really raspy sounding. The car would even act like it wanted to accelerate on it's own.
Let me specify more about the actual shaking. It's not an issue with the wheels/alignment. The engine/exhaust itself is moving a lot more than it should be while IDLE. If I look underneath the car or at the tailpipes, the pipes are moving/shaking a LOT more than they ever should be, and it's quite loud.
I really don't know what the problem would be, I'm not really advanced with cars I just know some of the basics. Also, I replaced Vacuum Tree/Intake Manifold Vacuum (Small plastic piece with 2 hoses, near throttle body) Wednesday during the day when I noticed one of the plastic pieces was broken off. I also changed my plugs and wires Wednesday.
I know that's a lot of reading, but I hope someone can help me with this issue. I would really like to get it to the shop asap or possibly have a friend help me fix it if it's not a HUGE problem. Thank you!
