Ok...
So i was riding on the freeway, some guy on an ugly ass eclipse is trying to mess with me. I had to show him who's the boss. So I step on the gas, all of a suden the car starts shaking violently. I get scared and let go of the gas and started driving on the slow lane. About two blocks away from home my car begins to make a rocking noise that goes on and off. Now I've been having fuel consumption problems with it but it was a combination of both in other words excesive fuel consumption and rocking. What the hell did I do?:1zhelp:
THANKS
P.S. I left the guy in the eclipse until it stalled out lol that S.O.B. probably thought that he won.

Sounds like a hose came off to me.
Check all IC hoses for leaks, especially the one going from under the turbo to the ic. It's a PITA to get to, but it's the most likely one to fail over time.

And of course, check your engine codes and post them up.

Need more info but check the plug wires. Check to see if all your fuel lines are in good working order too.

He didn't get that lucky.........it's more than likely an itercooler hose off.

It's not rod knock either. He didn't get that unlucky.

Your Discription was very vague...

Was the shaking rpm or speed dependent....or neither.....did you check codes?....need more info brother!!

Sounds alot like a boost leak. I find it surprising that you have no CEL. Are you sure it works? Check codes just to be safe, especially if youve never seen the light before. I just bought a pickup and the dealer removed the CEL bulb over an 02 sensor.

It could have burned out since then. Does it come on when you first start it?
