Why would the engine while accelerating bog down only when the motor is hot?
A damaged catalytic converter could cause that.
What could cause a banging sound when accelerating?
Fuel is not good!
Will a clogged catalitic converter cause your engine to missfire?
Depending on the extent of the clog, it could cause the engine to lose power under a load or accelerating and in severe cases the engine may not run above an idle. I don't see it causing any one cylinder to missfire.
What causes banging engine noise when accelerating?
The most probable cause is poor fuel or water in your fuel. This could also be due to the timing being out of proper adjustment.
Why would your car jerk at the 10 mph than trouble accelerating afterwards?
Could be as simple as a tune up.

Perhaps it is your pcv valve or rubber elbow connector that is hooked up to the pcv valve.
What could cause ford ranger engine to vibrate and loose power?
could be two things. if it does it while idling or accelerating, then its probably a spark plug not firing. if it only does it while accelerating or under load. then its probably a spark plug wire. either way, as general maintenance its a good idea to replace all the wires and plugs. Clogged catalitic converter will cause it to lose power.
What could have happened while taking a corner at a high speed to cause a 1986 Oldsmobile Cutlass 305 to shake badly when accelerating and while in neutral?
Check for a busted engine or tranny mount.

What is the most common cause of an engine knock when accelerating?
Engine knock can be caused by several things. Carbon deposits in the engine can effectively raise the compression ratio of the cylinder. When accelerating, the cylinder gets filled with more fuel and air, and the higher compression ratio causes knocking. Other possible culprits could include spark plugs being too hot or your timing being off.
What could be the problem in a 1998 lumina that has a growling noise when ever accelerating and sometimes when the AC is turned on high?
Several things could be making the Lumina growl. Check the belts and pulleys on the front of the engine. Check the engine mounts as well. Either of these areas can cause the problem of the growling noise.
