flex plate or engine issue



If you have mechanical oil pressure gauge that you can put on to look at the oil pressure, that will help
you tell if it a connecting rod bearing. Also, if the bearing is worn enough you will see metal flake in the oil,
give it a look.

If it were your flex. I'd expect you might see some signs of that by pulling the inspection cover for the flex. Dimming and not wanting to start sounds more like a bearing though. A bad flex typically breaks and causes noise only. Does not effect the motor or the way it runs. I could see a piece breaking and wedging the converter etc..so I won't say it's impossible for it to bind the motor...unlikely though.
