This is going COMEPLETELY out on a limb here but the comment you made about it sounding like a car with no piping...if you're referring to it sounding like there is no exhaust on it...that kinda sounds like a spun rod bearing to me..but some more detail is needed. Now that you're basically at rock bottom of the car running, start from the bottom and go up. When you turn the key is your fuel pump still priming? Do your interior lights/dash lights/radio all still come on/work? Does the car crank at this point and not turn over or does it not even crank?

yes all the light turn on. but the cluster kind of dies and it shows battery light and the oil. it cranks but i have to press on the gas a littile bit. thats when like the cluster goes out. yea the pump still priming

I'm with bart, sounds like you spun a rod/main bearing...

When you start the car does it make a noise that sounds something like someone is hitting your motor with a hammer? If so it sounds like a main bearing to me.

Reason I think this is as follows: If the car starts and then dies quickly, its usualy due to loss of electrical power somewhere along the line. If a main bearing is gone, it makes it very hard for the rotating assembly to turn as it normally would, causing th crank to move slow enough to not supply enough power through the alternator which in-turn feeds the distributor. No spark, no car...
