yeah so i started the car up today cranked fine, turned the corner and it started tickin and clunking, checked the oil it was low, low, so i walked back to the house and got some oil, topped it off, it was still ticking, so i was goin down the road, it felt like it had no power, then it started to die, and it stalled when i came to the light, i would crank but started to smoke and died again. so i got it towed to the house. any ideas what happend. im thinking it seised up, or the timing belt snapped, not sure. need help!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like it could be either one.. Was there a lot of smoke coming out of the tail pipe or was it coming from the engine bay?
