Dude, did you read your OP?


You're basically asking "hey my car makes some noises, what's wrong with it?"


No pictures, no videos, how are we supposed to help you otherwise?

Because you have offered zero insight into what is actually going on other than your car was smoking and now won't start. Could be a billion different issues.

I think you should take it to a mechanic if you are not at all mechanically inclined. Even if by some miracle we can tell you what's wrong with it based on little to no information, I'm pretty positive you'll be taking it in to be fixed anyway.

I am not by any means an expert, but it sounds like a bearing is shot on something that runs through your serpentine belt (Alternator, power steering pump, idler pulley, etc)

Any CELs?

Follow SamDoe's advice, take it to a mechanic.

That seems like a pretty unhappy engine... Knocking Sounds, it seems your engine has been KIA.
