I say be lazy, if I had a warrenty on a car, i'd use it.. just rent an econ car for a few days to get you around, just drop it off when it actually going to be looked at... not sitting in the lot for days..

Oh come on, your asking for a needle in a haystack here. There is no way we can pinpoint of give you a list of ideas what this could be. Do you realize how many things can go wrong on your motor and cause a symptom like this. Could be as simple as a belt or as bad and a ring land.

Do you run 87 octane>>?? sounds like a bad batch of fuel man .. if the octane is low itll detonate like that i guess when you shut it off

Check your motor mounts as well.
