Hello everyone thank for stopping by and reading this i need some help with my 99 3.8L i haven't been able to figure out what was wrong with it for almost a month now from what i can recall the day when it stopped working i had to get a jump in the morning to get to work made it to work then when it was time for my lunch break i coudlnt get the car to start up my co worker cam over to give me a jump no dice he had a spare battery in his truck and it started up i shortly went back to work when it was time to get home the car started up normally no issues maybe 15 mins into the drive during the drive i traffic was coming up and i needed to slow down a bit went for downshift (4th-3rd) and the car felt so weak and the car got abnormally loud it didnt sound like anything was grinding or broken the exhuast just became louder than normal the car itself is pretty loud already but, The sound was unbearable. I hit the gas pedal, and the car wouldn't accelerate; it just kept coasting. Even switching gears didn't change anything; none of them seemed to respond to the throttle. I would hit the gas, and I would hear the engine, but it just wasn't going anywhere. I finally made it to the side of the highway and tried to get the car back on. It would crank, but it wouldn't start. I called my co-worker to see if a jump would help, and it didn't. He put his working battery out of his truck into mine, but no luck. The car's been sitting for almost a month, and I don't know what I'm doing or what I should be looking for. It would be great to get some input from anyone who can help. Thank you.
