Ok so i washed my car today at around 400pm at work and i was off at 6. i let it warm up with my command start at aruond 550 and everything was fine. I drove home, shut it off, still fine. I started it with remote start and drove to my friends shop and shut it off and was there for about 20mins. Started fine. I get home and i was about to leave and i tried starting it with my remote start again and it makes a weird ass noise. I look under the hood and tried starting it again manually. Finally after about 5 mins it started so i let it sit for another 5 mins. ANYWAYS..short version is that as i go to back outta my driveway as soon as i let go of the clutch and give it gas, it makes weird noises andstalls. NOW it won't start again? Is something frozen or what? It makes weird noises when i try to start it..i'm pretty damn confused..i NEED HELP NOW>.i hafta work on monday and i have no way to get there! PLEASE HELP ME!!

it would make since that it is the clutch. It sounds like when you are pushing the pedal down, it gives a different result. Get your car to the mechanic and tell him you need him to check the clutch and replace if neccessary.

what about the clutch bypass you have for your remote start?

I'm not sure..it has been working fine since i got it installed..i think i have to add some clutch fluid too tho. SO i'm gonna try that and take it to my mechanic at work on monday. The weird thing is that i went to show my friends and see what they thought and it started fine..WTF?? grr.

sounds to me like the pressure bering is gone, or one of the teeth on your starter is messed up. does the starter turn and it fails to crank the engine or what ?

Sounds like the tension springs in your clutch disk have poped out. You need a new clutch.
