Description of the problem | I first noticed 3/1/2021 that my car was using higher rpms than normal. Then the following morning of 3/2/2021 when i turned the car on it immediately started making a ticking/winding sound when i pushed the gas pedal. By the end of the day the noise and issue had gotten worse when i was trying to drive. It started not being able to accelerate at all and finally it started smoking and turned completely off and leaving me stranded on the side of the road. |
