Default intermittent problems...

Why are my cars problems intermittent?
The popping noise that I get when I go 3/4 to Full throttle happens 75% of the time, but there are 25% where the car goes normal.

The popping noise sounds like its coming from the back of my car. Its slowing my car down, it makes the car rev really slow, i can't describe what it does the revs of the engine.

At first I thought it was my spark plugs, or wires, but then I thought it wouldn't be intermittent.

Then I thought maybe it the tq convertor, or the rear end.
The car has a rough idle, at a stop light yesterday my mirror was shaking!!

But im not sure, can you guys please help me troubleshoot this?

Tay Jay
you have had enough problems with this car that i would suggest taking it to a qualified mechanic.

you know that I recomment Tonys.. http://www.tonyscorvetteshop.com

you can get a free test drive with recommendations for repairs.

all you need to do is call and make an appintment ahead of time for the test ride.

Ask JULIET..thats EXACTLY how she has dealt with Tony.

even if you dont have him do the repairs, at least you will have an idea whats wrong.

hurry=up..i expect to see you at the Skyline Drive cruise..Oct 25th
