Hello. The past couple of days I have been having problems with my car. It has started to stall when I am starting from a stop. It has also stalled while I was driving. Sometimes when I just start going <5mph it feels like I have absolutely no power then a second later, I get power. I am thinking this could be the mass air flow sensor. I have checked for vacuum leaks and if the MAF was plugged in all the way.

One more thing. The engine makes this ticking noise that varies with the RPM. I do not have a video of it but it kind of sounds the same as baseball cards on a bicycle.

I need some help so I can fix it and buy me a motorcycle.
