      I had super noisy car before. Finally fixed the noise!!!

      A while back I posted a thread. That my car was noisy as hell. Noisier then hard sex with my gf in my bed lol. Turns out I needed a inner tie rod driver side and control arm busing was out. Got a eBay control arm with bushings shipped for $47 and a inner tie for $32. Waaallaaa!! Car is quite now lol. Used to make noise when I hit the breaks when I accelerate it. Turning car etc... Now only noise I here once in a while is the suspension. My suspension is gone. Car sits low and keeps bouncing. Sit one 200lbs person in the back and I got a lower rider and car drops about 3inches lol. 2 people and I'm rubbing almost none stop lol. Now gotta find some coilovers or good deal on shocks and struts

      Well I don't want to spend to much on the car but I rubs bad it sucks lol. Now need to find what's causing my car to jerk under light throttle. Friend told me its probably the throttle sensor. First we thought it was a bad motormount but no. Funny only under light throttle though. Check engine will go on every other day for like 20 min then disappear

      Do you have the electronic throttle body or the old cable style. If its the eloctronic one the issue is there are two sensors one on the tb one on the pedal if they get outof sync it causes the checklight and hesitation and to buck a little. If the car isunder warrenty get that fixed profesionally if not start by cleaning it. If that doesnt workthen orderanewone there isa thread onhere how toreplace one good luck.

      sounds like a misfire to me.. mist the wires and coil pack with water while it is idling, and see it you can spot the problem.. (dont touch anything you might get shocked).
