Ok, here's the situation... Please let me know what you think.

While driving on Sunday, out of the blue, my car started acting up. When I pushed on the accelerator, the engine would get real rough, there was a dull thud sound every time the engine turned. I could also feel the sound through the gas pedal. If I gave gas, the thuds just got faster and more pronounced.

I looked at my cluster, and the service engine soon light had came on. So I pulled over, extremely frustrated, put on the hazards and let the car sit for a minute or two. I didn't have my cell with me so I decided to start the car again and see if the problem had fixed itself. The car started up like normal, and ran smooth. I thought all was well?

Today on my way to work, the same thing happend on the freeway. I had to exit from the fast lane trying to give as little gas as possible to keep the thudding down. When I finally got pulled over and restarted the car, it ran smooth again.

Now I'm scared, what do you think it could be? Could it be caused by my Gruppe M intake? Should I put the stock intake back on before bringing it to the dealer?

Please Advise!:banghead:

Please? Sorry for the 1 hour bump, but this is really making me nervous.

YES put your stock intake before go the dealer

Hope it's nothing serious, but yeah, since you still under warranty (I'm just assuming), put the stock intake back on just to be safe.

Thanks guys, anybody know what might be wrong?

Maybe electronic ignition coil problems. Just guessing.

Thanks shicks,

On rennsport forums someone said it is probably the cam positioning sensor.

whatever it is, I hope it's not a huge pain to get fixed.

in any case, it sounds like the cam sensor, which is a common problem and should be replaced with warranty
