    Engine jerking???

    Ok, dealership says bad wastegate actuator, busted motor mount, and over boosting at 20 psi when it slams down like that. Warranty is covering all that s*** and the radio :)

    Engine jerking???

    Well, I haven't done the battery thing yet, but after checking the screws, yeah it was still doing it. I haven't really driven it today....but I'll do it before I take it to the dealership....it's still under factory warranty until 11SEP07. I've barely got 45k miles on it.

    Engine jerking???

    Nope...I have no electronics and no mods have been done to the car other than the cold air intake and a MagnaFlow axel-back exhaust...the exhaust was on the car when I bought it.

    Engine jerking???

    hehe most of that is foreign to me what you just said. I'm not exactly a car guy...I'm more of a computer guy, but I'll run this buy my car club friends and see if they can dumb it down for me, or even look at it all for me. Thanks for helping me :)

    Engine jerking???

    Okay, so I got an Injen cold air intake installed and about a week or two later I noticed the engine acting stupid when accelerating. Example....I'll do a 20 roll in first, hauls ass off, shift into second, and at about 5k-6k rpm the engine suddenly jerks and feels like it's dieing and turning...
