I am having problems with my car. First of all, it sounds like a bus when you crank it. When you try to take off sometimes it makes a really loud noise and acts like it is not getting gas. They are telling me that I have a leak that cannot be found. What could the problem be?
Thank you in advance.

can you describe the noise better?



what kind of leak did they say you have? it could be a bad exhaust leak that would make it sound like a bus if you mean a loud diesel type sounding engine.

does it run fine otherwise?
