It almost sounds like your car runs, but horribly and makes bad sounding noises. So far you haven't mentioned oil pressure. Once you begin to diagnose this, check out the harmonic balancer. While I've never seen one yet...willwrens description for a different post sounds similiar if you still have oil pressure and no holes in the motor. Hopefully you can come back to us with only a harmonic balancer.

My experience with bad/spun bearings is this. When it happens (bearing actually dies) the motor stalls. You think, this is not like my car and try to restart. It won't start w/o a little help by giving it some extra fuel. You hear a rythmic deep clunk in the motor and oil pressure is either very low or non existant.

Rocks in a can was the term used to describe the engine in the 93 when it had a rob and/or bearing go. I am not sure which, cause I just had th engine pulled and a new one put in. Good luck with the car.

Did you have the engine looked at? Might be worth doing. That, or if you do plan on getting rid of it, just throw it on ebay stating the facts, and that the buyer has to pick it up with some way to haul it. Start the bidding at $500 no reserve and you should be able to get some out of it. Judging from your sig pic, the car is in decent shape. (if it was a 92-95 shell I would have been all over it.)
