Nope. Nothing. The only thing I've noticed, other than the obviously annoying pitter-patter my car has developed, is that it runs a little warmer than it used to, if that means anything...

I've had the car about a year...six months ago (before the big heat hits us down here) I had a fellow check all the plugs, the wires and the distributor to make sure everything was hunky-dory.
I thought it really might be the fuel filter. I've changed those before. The fuel filter for my car, as I understand it, is in the tank itself, which may prove a bit more difficult, but I could probably manage.
I'll get the mileage when I get off work...

You can't so much hear it as you can feel it. You can hear it putter out the tailpipe as it moves on down the road, but other than that, you don't hear much at all. You know it feels like when you're on a roller coaster and the cars latch to climb that first big incline. That rocking front to back as the car climbs the links up to the apex, you know what I mean? That's what it feels like going down the road.
Thanks gents, for all the help so far. If you got any other questions, please ask... I've got a guy looking at it soon, so this is probably just an intellectual exercise; I just didn't want to look like a total jerk when I go in there.
