I was driving regularly the other day and i noticed a louder exhaust noise up front then usual, the car suddenly looses power but is still driveable, i pull it over pop the hood and check the usual suspects, plumbing, maf, injectors ect all fine... So i try to start it up again and nothing, just clicking, try again trys to turn over but just kills the power, try again more clicking but cuts the power again.. I get it towed home, charge the battery, try to start it again, just clicks then dies. the battery is good, but im not sure about the starter. I havent been able to figure out the problem, if anyone knows what the issue is, or an idea of whats wrong please post it.

sounds like the motor locked up on you. Put the car in neutral and see if you can turn the crank pulley
