M3 keeps jerking

[madunix]

whats up guys, well heres my problem, I got rear ended a few months back n havnt gotten the check to fix my car yet, i might end up selling but that's another topic, anyway my car wasn't rear ended that bad, but my exhaust is pushed in, for maybe 2 weeks the car was driving just fine but then it ran out of gas on me because my needle got stuck, ever since that day my car has slowly been jerking whenever i'm driving it all the way from 1st to 6th gear. it's not soo bad to the point where it can't be driven but i try not to use it much. i was told a possible sensor that got damaged in the exhaust could be giving bad back pressure readings? dirty fuel injectors? i put in a bottle of techron in it with a full tank, it fixed the problem after a hour of driving it only for the day. umm i'm not too sure, anyone got any other simple suggestions?

Have you considered taking in to have it checked?

don't have the money to get it looked at. ive tried going to 2 places but they didn't wanna touch the car... i was offered 9k for the car as is, idk does anyone think that's worth it? i'm not getting much response on this subject.

if you got rear ended, isn't it the other person's fault? Didn't you get a police report and report it to their insurance company?

I don't understand...

i did report it to the insurance company, they put me at 50% at fault, so they're only giving me about $3,200. i'm thinking about going to court for it but who has time nowadays for that. the insurance company said the police report didn't have enough details to put only 1 person at fault therefore it's 50% at fault for both of us. and if you're wondering why don't my insurance company cover it, it's because i only had liability at the time, and if u wonder why i only had liability its because i used to live in nc and it was only 160 for full coverage and now live in ny so it would of been 350... =/ (a month)

You got rear ended, the accident cant possibly be any part your fault. But as for the jerking, I wonder if a motor or tranny mount took a beating in the accident? Try to describe it better for me.

imagine ur car running out of gas type jerking... i honestly believe it's something with my fuel injectors but i figured i'd at least see what people say on here.

did your battery cable detonate? I got rear ended and had to jerry rig it to get it home... I'm thinking maybe it didn't fully detonate (highly unlikely this is even possible) I have the same type of damage on my zhp... I got quoted about $1500-$2200 if I bring them a new OEM bumper) to fix... if your insurance gives you $3200... take it... its more than enough for a nice bumper and exhaust (period)

[madunix]

yeah, but if u see the pics, my trunk got damaged, that lil lip piece under the trunk, and my right rear panel got pushed in a lil. alot more damage than u think, not just a bumper n exhaust =/

No matter how small the damage was you need to get a check up .. plus youre exhaust got hit leads to youre oxygen sensor, exhaust manifold all the way to the engine damage hopefully not to the extent .. but looking at the picture youre exhaust pretty damaged and that probably causing back preasure problem

[Project330i]
