Loud Noise from Engine

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

There a loud cranking noise coming
from the engine as if something is
broken inside the engine. The car
stopped when the noise was at its
peak. It starts now but the same
loud cranking sound comes from the
engine and theres very less power
for the car to move.
Any suggestions what it can be

Maybe a starter motor is not disengaging? Clearly you have a serious mechanical issue, continue to drive it will only make it worse, get it into a shop asap. If you're a DIYer, look at the starter and all belt driven accessories, then CV axles.
