Something wrong with my X

[Greddy X-Plorer]

Ok, yesterday afternoon I was driving my X home from work and I noticed when I turned on the vehicle, it started to shake and when I backed up from the parking lot it started to rattle a bit stronger, whenever I stoped on a red light or a stop sign, it shakes and when I start to press on the accelerator it starts to shake but the thing is that there's this funny noise coming from what looks like to be the cataylic, where the exhaust pipe is and I can't figure it out where it's coming from, I just got the Air Sensor changed and now another F***n problem.

Sounds like you might have broke a exhaust hanger

Yeah, either an exhaust hanger OR you may have a busted pipe (Mine has started doing the same thing but not as bad)

Well I took it to my mechanic and they found out the problem, my mechanic uses a computerized thing to find a problem in a vehicle. My problem is that one of my cylinders in the motor is not working and that all I need is a tune up, (spark plugs, cables, etc. etc.) and that's what making the rattling under the pipes, because we all know that all the stuff that blows through the pipes comes from the motor first.

I would inspect all the heat shelds. These are found on the cats and muffler, as well as the pipe near the oil pan. They are only spot welded at the factory and are notorious to come loose and rattle.. too Fix just get a few spring hose clamps from Home depot and stirng them together around the offending shield..
