After the subject was brought up, I'm beginning to think what happened isnt an engine problem, but rather a frayed belt that's wound around my clutch-
It's make sense considering the symptoms-
Unfortunatly I'm going to have to have the shop look at it, If I can't do it with one arm, I'm pretty much screwed. Last March, I literally broke the end of my elbow off, and despite surgery, it didn't heal right. There's wire holding the cap in place but it didnt graft back on and it's pretty weak...
