    How many miles are on this car?

    I'm talking about statute miles, not nautical miles.

    My car has 118,000 miles on it, could it possibly be a fuel injector out?

    If it sounds like its coming from the muffler, then you probably have a leak at your exhaust manifold. Is the "motorboat sound" really loud? Can people hear you coming a half a mile away?

    my old car did the same thing, it was an old honda. It would shake pretty bad when I was at a stop and had the A/C on. And it did the motorboat thing cause I didn't have a muffler
