I hate My Car, im gonna trade it in.
Ok, this car has had more problems than anything i have ever owned and i treat this car so good. last year around this time my crank shaft positioning sensor went out. then during the winter my rockers, timing chain, and timing chain guides went out. i have spent so much on this car and now a few days ago i was driving and my car jerked really hard and my rpms shot down to 0 and the car was still running, so i pulled over and it was idling and it kept acting like it was gonna die like it was going from 1rpm to 0.1rpms. And then it died and would not start for like 10 min. and it did the same thing to me today and from the sounds of it i sounded like it wouldnt go past 4000rpm's. and then i just parked it and said **** this car. Do you know what this could be? you think it could be the crank shaft positioning sensor again? But i think im gonna trade it in for a STI.
