I was driving around yesterday when I stopped at a red light and the engine stalled, I tried to start it back up but it just wouldn’t and had to wait 5 minutes before it worked again but now theres a knocking sound and the car is undrivable at this point as it will stall as soon as I come to a stop, the knocking is really loud and it increases as I accelerate. Any idea what it might be? Thanks

can I ask how bad was your maintenance on this car? I don’t ever want this to happen to me. Did you do any oil changes? Long interval oil changes? any preventative maintenance work done?

  I bought the car a week ago, the guy i bought it off recently changed the tires and did an oil change. I guess I got scammed
