Is the check engine light on? If so, check to see what code might be present.

When's the last time you changed or checked your oil level?

A defective timing chain tensioner can cause excessive chain slack which sounds horrable as well.

could this be a result having too much oil, will get an oil change tomorrow to isolate that problem. the codes are knock sensor, and intake air temp malfunction, i am running a short ram intake so the intake code has been present. may try changing the knock sensor.
