Thanks. Over the last couple of weeks I have felt that my cars engine area seemed louder than usually. It just makes me wonder if some hose was loose which might cause it to sound louder and rougher and then it popped off.... It killing me not to be able to drive it and I will taking it down to the dealers tomorrow night. I just worry that if it is a part then I will have the long wait until it comes in.

On another note I told my son about it (he was really into cars before) and he thought it could be a bad tank of gas and it was making adjustments to the timing because of bad gas. I was running really low on gas the day before this happened and I had to stop in a part of town I don't usually go to. I put in the higest grade gas. He said high performance cars can react that way if bad gas is used and it would sound like a box of marbles rattling and that is exactly what it sounded like.

Thanks for your feedback I will post what they find out on Monday!!!!
