Engine Performance problem
2002 Other Chevrolet Models Two Wheel Drive 70,000 miles

When I start my PT cruiser, the engine makes a noise like there is something inside the engine clanking around (like a small piece of metal) and the oil guage is showing at the bottom "C" like it isn't working. (It was yesterday) I do have oil in it and the amount is at the correct line on the stick. I'm afraid to drive it - what is wrong with it?

hard to say about a noise on here, but it sounds like you may have a rod or main bearing knock. Have a pro check it out to see what the problem is ... that's the best bet.
