Once you turn on your car the lifters become stuck and make a loud clicking noise on the engine. It makes the car hesitate to turn on and at times it shuts off the car automatically at any time.

My car is a manual. I was driving about 25mph when in between 3rd and 4th the car engine revved up to about 5k or 6k RPM. I tried to just hit the gas but it wouldn't go back down. I did not release the clutch. I had to turn the car off and restart it so it wouldn't do that again. It happened again after that and I did the same thing by restarting it. I noticed a different pressure in the gas pedal with my foot during this occurrence. After the second time, it did not occur again. This is the second time this has happend. It happened about 10,000miles before. This happened at about 101,500miles.

My car has 91,414 miles and has had multiple cylinder misfires with my normal daily commute of six miles each way. In three years on a 4 cylinder engine I have had three ignition coils replaced, twice within two and a half years and 10,468 miles on the #2 coil. All repairs have been completed by toyota certified repair facilities with toyota oem parts. This is not normal for a low mileage vehicle maintained with regular service.

My car was running fine until recently, when I had a few services done at the dealership: brake fluid, transmission drain/fill, oil change, and fuel injection service (this last item I did not ask for or approve beforehand). A couple days later, my car began stalling when I was driving (while coming to a stop/ not pushing the accelerator). No cel / overheating/ low oil issues- always regular maintenance. Took it back to the dealer, they said the engine had low compression and they suspected a cracked engine block. They also checked to see to see if my ECM was updated. That was all they said after being there 5 hours. I had to leave for work, brought it back a few days later, they said they didn't have time to look at it without an appointment. A few days later, my car wouldn't start at all. Took it back in, they said they didn't know why it had low compression/ stalling/ not starting because no oil or coolant leaks or mixing, no overheating, etc. Told me the only option is to replace engine. (cost of tearing engine apart to find crack or cracked gasket not worth cost in labor because of car's age/ mileage- 2009 corolla, around 176k). How is this even possible? I suspect that something was not done correctly during a recent service, or maybe they did not update/flash my ECM correctly. Of course, they are not claiming any responsibility. Very frustrating. The dealership manager did offer me a discount on the used engine repairs, but this seems like either manufacturer error or technician error.
