Default cant take no more!!!!!

k guys my car has been one problem after another.

Heres my new one,

85000 miles,

i was driving the car a little fast and the next thing u know im smelling burnt oil or some sort of burning smell.

lift the hood and there is smoke coming from the right side of the engine i think(night time so not sure)

try to drive the car home and the car is engine is making a whining sound at certain rpm(900-1000rpm)

keep driving home than car engine stalls out and engine light comes on.

now car starts but barely revs --struggles---sounds like sh## and can barely drive.

any ideas?

timing belt snapped?

bloew head gasket???

car isnt throwing codes but engine light and tranny light are flashing now?

im honestly cant take any more issues with this car---this is just ridiculous

It obviously wasn't the timing belt, Otherwise you wouldn't have been able to drive it back home...Now by "Right" side, do you mean Driver's side or passenger's side? And please be specific as to which car you're driving (Be it Toyota Soarer or Lexus SCX00).

car is extremely sluggish and barely revs----it litterally limped home-------car is giving off a burnd smell----oil? yes it is a burnt oil smell?

also it seems that im getting a loud exaust nopise now-------as if u had a bad muffler or something but coming from the engine somewhere.

or under the car.

Maybe you threw a rod through your block.... That would cause all the symptoms, how fast was the engine revving the second it happened?

oh man donr scare me like this----i was driving fast but nothing the car couldnt handle-----i was barely going 90--but in power tranny moide so the car was up to 5 thousand rpm or so..

the car was fine until i noticed while in the parking lot on idle that it made a sligth whineing sound---at about900 -1000 rpm--basically idle speed--.

Sudden Oil in exhaust
sudden Oil in (one side) engine bay

I've seen this movie before, street race between Cobra on Spray and F-Body, It ends expensively.

We have ALL been there with the SC, try not to be upset about it. In my experience some of my worse thoughts turned into not so big deals; it's all a learning experience and a chance to improve your car!
