    Please..turn your phone sideways and type to us in some detail if you really want some help.

    You say you wouldn't describe a knocking noise in your first post, but temp is up.
    Second post is.. screeching noise.

    We are going to need a little history and background of what led up to this ...even that vid you mention would help.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    thanks for the tip, that worked.

    sounds like a broken flexplate to me. as far as the car dying, does it die suddenly? or die slowly?

    it dies pretty suddenly id say its not instant but it dies when i slow down if im driving it itll stay running but if i let off the gas then seh will die
    when its cool it will idle and run and not die but when she warms up is when it runs ****ty it also makes the noise regardless of the car temp

    check the easy, simple stuff to replace: the flexplate, all the idler and tensioner pulleys, the crank pulley, etc. if its an internal problem then its gonna start costing a lot more money.
