Its may also sound like a major missing or major engine retarding. Its a VERY noticable change in engine behavior. Sounds like it comes from the right side. When it happens the car also seems to dog down big time.

I can probably get a recording if needed.

The car has newer injectors, wires and dist. I am taking the dist apart later tonight to inspect. I just pulled the plugs, they were gapped at 0.045 and I reduced them to 0.032". But it was doing it before this.

Thoughts?
Take a look at both motor mounts, particularly on the side you think the sound is coming from. They definitely do not last forever.
