Default Holy ****! Huge Power Loss, Grungy Noise Accelerating, Massive Fuel Consumption WTF

I just took my car out for a drive. Was just cruising on some back roads, was driving for a good 20 min dead straight at 80mph. I throw it in nuetral for some traffic and get off the gas, once traffic starts moving I get back on the gas and OMG, it lets out this ******* loud grungy noise that I cant explain, like when your car wants to stall when you dont give it gas in first but 10X faster of the noise.

I also ptractically watched the gas gauge go from 1/2 to just over 1/4 in 35 miles. When accelerating there is just no power and the car goes but knwowhere near it did 40 min ago.

The clutch pedal when engaging/disengaging while on the gas seems to vibrate

If i press in the clutch and rev it though IT SOUNDS PERFECT!!!

My oil light was also flickerring but Im right in the middle of the 2 dots so its good.

WTF is going on, what do I check for in the morning? This is seriously scaring the **** out of me, if something is majorly wrong, Im fucked, no moey for this.

Just give me things you need to know and Ill check them out for you. **** I wanna cry,

Btw- JDM sohc zc motor, si tranny

It just happend out of ******* knowwhere though, was cruising fine and I started to hear a small noise when lightly accelrating in fifth. By the time I got home, it was ******* disgustingly loud, maybe the clutch is shot or something?

I dunno, first car

What kind of sound? Like a clunk or what? The fuel consumption makes me wonder... Check all your basic stuff, compression, rotor, cap, ignitor,02. Is the sound coming from the head or the block or the tranny itself? Just go over all the simple stuff first and hopefully it will be something small.

Good Luck

Um Is The Cluth Slipping at all. That Would make it seem like a Big power lose and youre motor would be spinning faster so youed be burning more fuel.

sounds like something in your drivetrain took a major dump besides that your not giving us enough info to tell you what could be wrong....

ahaha I found the noise, it was a nice 1" thick branch rubbing against a piece of my wheel, it would make the noise when it hit the magnetic wheel weight lol

I honestly dont know what a slipping clutch would feel like as this is my first car and Ive driven less than 1000km with it running good and being able to beat on it

I have a bad idle that jumps form 800-1100 and there is a small knock when it starts to rise back up to 1100, anything?

I just drove it for a good 8-10 min @ 100kmph and the fuel gauge didnt move at all....

about the fuel consumption you might wanna check ur fuel injectors just to check. i pulled out mine and two injectors are cracked, changed them out and no more code1 cel and fuel mpg is way better. hope that would help.
