My cars flywheel broke and before that it seemed like it was struggling to get gas. I also hear a ticking noise before that as well. I did not know if you had an idea about what might have made my motor break the flywheel, by the way I saw a tooth missing after I took the starter off.

Usually a loose flywheel will cause the problem. Did it crack in the center or only the teeth round off? If in the center, chances are it was coming loose. If the teeth, the starter may have caused the problem.
