If I back out of a parking spot it may die/stall out. When I start the car again, it seems to be "backfiring" from the exhaust... kind of sounds like a rumbling sound when I shift or let off the accelerator. Honestly it sounds badass haha but I'm sure it's not a good thing. Sometimes I will hit the gas to go (not talking WOT, just normal driving), and the car sputters and has absolutely no power.Some backstory: I got this car about two years ago. It was taken great care of (my aunt) and sat in the garage for two years before I got my hands on it. I immediately did a tuneup (plugs, wires, dizzy cap and rotor, timing, fuel filter and even a new fuel tank and filler spout/gasket). SLP exhaust, pypes offroad xpipe. It's not tripping any lights or anything and isn't usually a problem. It may do this once or twice a week like I said, and even then once the engine warms up it doesn't happen anymore. I'm sure I have to change my air filter. I'm going to be adding a CAI soon though. Instincts tell me air filter and clean the MAF, but any thoughts are appreciated.</blockquote>
