Bergen County as well. Garfield as a matter of fact. I was just in Hackensack the other day dropping off a friend from college. You can go down Route 17 North (at least I think it was down 17) to the Pepboy's and get your codes read. I think they do it for free or maybe it was $30.00.

thump as, sound coming from the motor or the exhaust? if it's the motor, is it fast and overlapping( sound blends together sort've. )?

change your plugs first, maybe throw some new wires on at the same time if you have the stockers on yet.

I have seen things like this happen when bad spark plugs, coil packs, or MAFs happen. Also to check the maf you can tap it a bit and see if the car studders worse when idling.

So the order of things I would check/change are

0. Get codes scanned
1. change plugs/wires
2. Coil packs
3. MAF
