That's an extremely odd description! :P

Where does it sound like it's coming from? Engine, tranny, or rear end? Do you have an auto or manual?

It's cool. Explaining noises can be one of the most difficult things to do with cars.

Well, if it's coming from under you it could potentially be your torque converter, since it sounds like it 'fixes' itself when you get out of it and get back on it.

But definitely wait for another couple opinions.

I dont really see any other option than to 'guess'. There really wasnt too much of a description to begin with. Perhaps you have a suggestion?

Kidd, are you saying that you are driving then let off the gas then accelerate and it makes the sound? Like a backfire? Did you get the check engine light looked at? When was the last tune up?
