BIG Car Problem!!

I have a 1985 Olds 98, i had just bought it from a friend who was getting rid of it for $200. I had it for about 2 months now and it has been running like shit. I had just got the oild fixed for about $350(it was really fucked up) and just a few hours ago I was on my way home and and I was on a little road by my house, I was doing 30 mph and the car jumped and it made a load scraping sound, so I slowed down and stopped and put it into park then back to drive and still the same, the car when accellerated only goes to 30 mph and barely moves at all and makes a LOUD noise. Got any suggestions on what the problem is??

its probley really fucked up so ill have to save up and get a new car

Re: BIG Car Problem!!

I tried my car out today and the car seems a little better. Now it drives like usual but it still makes a load clicking noise under the front of the car. Anyone know what the problem may be?

Change all the spark plug wires and make sure they are all installed in the correct order. Invest in a good set of wires, take you time and I assure your the problem with resolve. I'm sure the plugs aren't firing in the right order. Had the same problem a few days ago.... make sure the plugs snap down over the plugs!
GoodLuck
