Default Ongoing clicking noise with 10% overall power.

Today my engine light came on. There is an ongoing clicking noise associated with the RPM on the
engine (you push the gas, the clicking noise speeds up). The power went from 100% and down to approximately 10% and was barely working. The noise also gets worse when the A/C is turned on.
The heater is also broken. Are the two related? Any info will be extremely helpful.

Here is a video with the noise.... http://youtu.be/MIZcfd3ioQQ

Any feedback will be appreciated.

Welcome to Club Lexus.

Is the check engine light flashing? It sounds like it's a misfire. A coil has likely gone bad if that's the case. You didn't mention how many miles you have?

Get the codes read (Free at AutoZone), and then post the codes back here.
