So today, I'm coming home from a date. And the car is acting funny, a loss of power, I've been having problems with cylinder 3 (corroded injector plug), so I proceeded to drop her off. At here place I popped the hood to check and confirmed #3 was doing nothing, but when I pulled the plug wire, there was oil on it. So I head home, and notice even more loss of power, and it not revving over 2k. When I pull into the driveway, I notice my lights are dim and the power windows are struggling to go up. I park, get out and pop the hood. As I check further, I remembered that a common thing was the MAF acting up, so I unplugged that, and the idle got better and the car revved higher, but it was still on 3 cylinders. So I was like, okay, and plugged it back in, the car turned off and is not starting back up. When I turn the key I get a bunch of clicking noises (like relays turning off and on real quick) and nothing happens.

I need to be able to get to work and school as its my daily. Any help, ideas, or clues are appreciated. Thanks in advanced.

Car: stock '93 'vert.

Yup. Also sounds like your alternator has gone out. And it sounds like you need to replace your valve cover gasket, as well.
