Ok, so yesterday i goto start my car, and its making a REALLY weird sound. I cant really take a sound clip or anything, but it sounds like something broke and is now settling somewhere. Whenever i try and rev it makes a sound as if the engine is gargling metal? Its coming from the back close to the firewall, and it wasnt anything i can eye down. I just dont know what to do. Ive lost a bit of power, which is rediculous cuz my ST is already slow as....so i feel like an old lady. If anyone has any suggestions let me know. Its a consistent sound, it just gets louder when i rev higher.

Same thing happened to my car (I think) . The car idles fine but has this loud a$$ metal pinging noise in the engine. The problem was the main bearing was gone due to low oil level. You can either replace the main bearing in the engine and hope nothing else is broken or just replace it. I went with a replacement and it was a b**** to do. Good luck.
