question

how do americans pronounce the word?

To go and reiterate my above pronunciations approximately, without X-SAMPA, I would say that I pronounce "question" as either "kwesh-chin" or "kwesh-shin". (I hadn't read the original question when posting before.)

That's assuming that Americans use any one pronunciation, which is not the case. For instance, me, Lazar, and Josh Lalonde are all Americans, and yet we ourselves do not have the same pronunciations of "question" overall.

if i use whatever comes in mind like for example i say this /qustshion/ then i say not that /queshion/ will this sound strange?

Josh Lalonde is a Canadian, just for the record.

I should have said "North Americans", but forgot; my apologies.

North American English dialects tend to use [E] in the word "question" overall and vary primarily on whether they have [stS], [StS], or [S:] and [In] or [@n].
