Okay. heres the Downlow. I was driving on the freeway, and my oil light came on, i figured i would still be able to make it home to put some oil in. i was wrong. A few seconds later, the car started making a weird noise as i was traveling down the I-17 at 80 MPH. i decided to pull off at the next exit and at the red light the car shut off, Almost like if i stalled it when i was learning to drive stick. I pulled into the gas station there, and put some oil in it. but the damage was done.
So my question to all of you, since i know absolutely NOTHING about cars. Does this mean i need a whole new engine? The car runs fine without clicking untill i get over 2,000 RPMS. Then the clicking starts. Ive heard from people that the enginge is completely done and i need to start saving for a very pricey replacement. Is there a way i can fix this? with limited knowledge? or no? thanks for your help. Luckilly i have my 5GC, but it is also having a problem. Its power steering. Its not working, i have to force it into turning, and only weighing 130 at 5"11. u can bet its pretty damn hard for me to do. It just started happening today. And the power steering fluid is almost full, but i topped it off to make sure. Do i need a new pump? if so , how much is that going to be to buy? and could i replace it myself? Thanks in advance; Jake Black Limited ST |

if it was true and say an engine had problems as mentioned above eg. bearings will that NOTICEABLY (correct spelling?) affect the performance?
