RE: guys whats wrong with my stang
yea i was next to a camaro in 1st and i took off shifted to second and caught a red light. when i slowed down to stop and came to a complete stop the car started acting weird like how it felt when it broke the piston but after when i left the light it kinda just shut up and went back to normal...any of you guys have any idea what this is ...and the ticking noise is coming from the front botom of the car

RE: guys whats wrong with my stang
You should really pull your plugs & have a look to begin with.
As for the tick - take a long screw driver and while the engine is running, stick it on different parts of the engine and you can pin point if it's something internal or not. You'll hear injectors & the rockers,..rev up the engine gradually & listen for significant changes in tone & such...
As for the bog, did you actually see the RPM's drop or anything? Don't try to troubleshoot too many symptoms at once. Try to locate the noise first & then pull your plugs.

The ticking sounds like a spun bearing. Check your oil for metal shavings even though they wont always be there in the case of spun bearings.
If you were coming to a stop and the rpms dropped it could be the IAC. Clean it.

It's always best to do a full bottom-end rebuild whenever you have any sort of failure, it's cheap insurance & it's a lot easier to feel good about it after knowing it was done properly...
Don't figure for the worst yet. Do the little things first.
