Hello,
Awhile ago I came here asking about my car making a ticking noise, then not accelerating. It turns out my intake manifold gasket was leaking. I got that fixed and no problems. The mechanic said the lifters were dirty, but he cleaned them.
Today, I was driving home and suddenly the ticking and the acceleration problem was back and it was ticking... I got it home, oil was fine... the coolant wasn't leaking or anything. I put some oil and some engine restore in it, its at the right level and I took it for a drive. The noise then got alot worse, then suddenly all power was gone. I tried to start it a few times and it would try a little bit, and now it won't make any noise at all. I haven't gone back to try again yet.
This came out of nowhere, it only started today.
