Let me start off by saying my car is a 1989 Accord LX-i with a A20.. nothing modded in the engine.. its got over 250k miles. I changed the oil and filter only 1000 miles ago.
It all started with me sliding in the snow into deeper snow and getting stuck and me womping the hell out of my car to get it out like a dumbass.. I was stuck and I panicked and just tried to burnout of the snow.. I had the engine at like 6000 rpms for a longass time and i finally got it out.. but now it's screwed up. I need help diagnosing the problem..
After we got it out of the snow, it stalled out and the oil light came on.. obviously overheated and whatnot. I let it cool down and start driving.. It's now making a loud, raspy sound and knocks every so often.. When the engine warms up to normal temperature after driving it a little, the oil light comes on at low rpms (1-2k). The noise is loud and inconsistent in it's knock.. its sperratic.
also, when accelerating at a normal speed, it will accelerate slower than usual (still with the raspy noise) and when it gets to around 3000 rpms, it will jump from 3k - 4k and from 4k-5k and so forth.. this is consistent.. it happenes on every gear, and starts at 3k..
The car also has a tremendous loss in power..
I came here wondering if anyone can shed some light on my issue.. I screwed up pretty badly and need help. Please if anyone can help.. I need it :)
Thanks!
