I was driving my car hard last night on the highway. First, I started to smell some oil burning, but I didn't think much of it (about half the time my oil dipstick pops up and oil squirts onto the engine bay). Then I look down at my stock oil gauge and it's showing no oil pressure, and the car stalls. I'm in the fast lane of the highway, car stalled, and no way of getting over because I have cars on my right. So I crank the car and it starts back up, I limp it off the highway, the car's running pretty rough on DSMLink it's showing 14 degrees of knock, knocking all over the place. (Normally, the engine never knocks more than 2 degrees tuned.) So I pull over at the first place possible.
I have the car towed home, jacked it up this morning and find out my oil pump harness is disconnected . I started the car up and it's making this loud clanking/tapping. I'm guessing with the pump not circulating the oil didn't get to certain parts of the engine. I'm not sure if I damaged something in the head or the block, that's basically why I'm posting. I'm going to drain the oil tomorrow after work and see if there's metal shavings in the oil or not.
During the video when the check engine light comes on, it's knocking around 10 degrees.
