I just got done dumping way way way too much $$$ in this turd bucket. And out of no where, it started running rough, and doing this weird chattering deal at idle. Any ideas or help please. I'm about to put a road flare in the back seat, with a full tank of gas. It ran great for a few weeks, then started having transmission shifting issues, so I had the solenoids replaced and a fluid flush. That did not fix the transmission. The transmission shop ended up putting a tps sensor in, which did fix the shifting issues. It ran great for a day then started ticking when driving. I haven't driven it more than a few hundred feet since the ticking starting. Now at idle it ticks as you can hear in this video, and the throttle body chatters. I tore both valve covers off to check valve clearances, thinking it was a valve train issue. All the clearances were perfect. What the hell? Haha.
