Hey guys my car sounds like its sputtering when i accelerate. anyone know why. at first i thought it was vtc's but vg30e's( or GXE'S) dont right?

second is a creaking or rattling sound when i accelerate. took it to a mechanic and he says motor mounts but i dont see any problems with them. also sounds like its coming from drivers side but i could be wrong. anyone have this issue also.

try doing a tuneup, really not to be an *** or anything. try new plugs, check ur timing, wires, cap. You never know, get a haynes manual and do a diagnostic check too. Thats free cept for maybe 15 bucks for the manual.
Good luck, and dont give up on it. We've all been there.

Exhaust Mainfolds? I need to change mine someday (gas mileage is crap right now and I just got a tuneup)

ish

i just got a tune up. cant be that. it sounds more like leaking air when i mean sputtering. but i hear a ticking when im on inside lanes near walls so i dont know where its coming from.

check for broken exhaust studs..

ish

They are all broken i took it to the mechanic and theyre telling me it would have to be taken to a machine shop to take out and tap. Im being quoted close to 1000 dollarrs. is it that bad? can i drive like this? what should i do?

If you know your Studs are broken and you hear air escaping than you know what your problem is. Do a search or just go a few days back, some one replaced their studs and advised of the proper Studs to replace with.

ish

i didnt know it was studs till today. Thanks. I saw the article . Is there something more detailed or any other that describes this?
