24's. when i listen next to the driver side valve cover there is a clapping noise, kinda like an exhaust leak. i haven't plugged off the pipe that comes off theexhaust so i know there is leaking. i tried backing out of the driveway and it struggled to go up the little incline. i decided to pull it back in the driveway. i have a sound clip i just never done one before so it might take a few mins to post it

hard to tell, but it seems like the motor is shaking too much, like from a "miss" or something causing low power in one or more cylinder.

1- check gap on plugs

2- individually pull a wire off the cap and see if idle quality changes at all or if its sparking, for example if you pull cyl 2 off the cap and hold it close to the cap you will see the spark arcing from the cap to the inside of the wire.

3- my nieghbor did this one to my car, take a lead tip point with a wire and ground it to the negative side of hte battery, and individually stab each boot of hte wire on the cap, idle quality will change when you stab the problem cyl.

4- check vac. my car pulls 19ish lbs at idle but i am SD and you sound like your MA
