So the past couple days my car has been idleing like crap, especially when the air conditioner is on (it nearly dies!!) Then two nights ago I realize when I gradually accelerate around 2,000 rpm the car jerks a little bit untill you reach about 2,500 rpm. Today on my way home from school the jerking was significantly worse, and when I pulled into Mcdonalds it was idleing really bad (AC off), there was a loud ticking sound, and the exhaust was crackling a little bit.
So I get home and pull it into the garage and pop the hood. I stick my hand by both headers and feel nothing. The ticking I thought would surely be a blown header gasket, but the sound appears to be coming from the end of the h-pipe (towards the cat-back). Anyone have any ideas? I know its not good to drive around with a header leak, and I did use the crappy BBK gaskets
Thanks for your thoughts
