just yesterday as i was cruising on the highway otw to work, the engine started to develop a "baap..baap..baap..baap" noise. There was some vibrations at the wheel and when i came to a traffic light stop, the car would go "baap..baap..baap" as if it was like a subaru with those cannons. Acceleration was slow and the vibration got worse. At first i thought it was the tires but when i reached the garage the engine was shaking 'abnormally' and can still hear that "baap..baap..baap.." noise.
I thought it might have something to do with the coils or the plug leads or the spark plugs. but all these check out, nothing damaged or broken. the engine mounts were installed last year. Dont have the tools to open up further into the engine so will be taking it to the shop. I took a peek inside the throttle body, clean...the idler motor was good and the cables opening the throttle body was clean, no sign of rust or sticking. I sure hope its something like a transmission mounting bush or something involving the suspension, but even when stationer the engine still shakes. The wheel are balanced with 8month old tires.
I'm sure it cant be the tires since tyhe engine make this noise standing still. this morning starting up the car was a shocker as i could feel the firewall being hit with some constant thuds. Like a dwarf with a hammer. I'm worried to drive it along the highway, if something breaks loose or the vibrations get worse.
Checked the pulleys and belts. none of them were seized.
Will let u know wat seems to be the problem. has anyone had this problem?
