The car seemed sluggish on accelerating and gas mileage was decreasing. Diagnosis was the spark plugs were very worn. They were replaced |
| 112000 mi | Exhaust sounds loud when engine is cold. Had the engine and transmission checked and nothing could be found causing the issue. The mechanic feels the inner pipe may have come loose or deteriorated. Will need to replace system. |
