#50731, "whats wrong with my car? real crappy idle"




          

When i start my car up and it is idling....it sounds like it wants to die. I have exhuast so normal it sound like, for lack of better terms, a roar. But now...its like put...put...put....and it sounds like it wants to die.

Its like a smaller version of the sound i got when i started the car with only 3 spark plugs in.

What could it be?
