Yesterday i got in my car and my oil light was on so i didnt think much of it so i drove a few blocks and it started making a scretching noise so i look under my car the oil filter was loose so i tightened it and started driving and it died on my now it wont start up i put more oil in it????
You broke it. Driving with the oil light on was VERY poor judgement. A red light means "STOP". You probably ran the engine without oil and the main/rod bearings started overheating and destroying themselves (the screeching you heard). Starting up again and continuing to drive without oil finished the destruction. It doesn't matter how much oil you put in it now, the crankshaft is frozen in position, and the starter cannot turn the engine over.
Sorry, you need another engine.

I had experienced the same problem with my 93 TC. I'll try to make it short. Replace the Idle Control Valve. Cost me $50 at AutoZone. It has a electronic plunger that has a rubber o ring on the end of it. It separates two air chambers inside the valve. When the rubber gets old and the plunger is suppose to cut off the air coming in from one chamber to the other, the air gets sucked between the chambers across the old rubber causing the humming noise. That is also why the engines revs up and down and wont idle right. It is located between the firewall and the back of the motor just to the left (drivers side) of the throttle control assembly. When you look up on the internet on how to replace it, it will tell you to remove all the housing surrounding the wiper blade control arms and assembly so that you can access it. If you take your time, just remove some of the hoses and wires connected around it and you can access it without removing all that ****. Only has two screws to it that point up and can be reached with a ratchet and extension. Car runs great now and finally got rid of that noise.

there is a small heater hose on the pass side rear from the firewall(heater core) to the intake manifold. the plastic manifolds have a tendency to split where the hose fitting goes into the intake. If that is where it is leaking the manifold needs replacement.

check the emergency safety switch for the fuel pump. should be located on the L side of the trunk side panel
SOURCE: battery light just came on but it cant be my alt
The battery light trips when it detects an issue with the charging
system. Very rarely, the battery light can trip if there's an issue
with the PCM, but this is very rare.
Take a voltmeter with the car off and measure the voltage on the leads of the batter, should be
around 12V+-.2. With the car running, measure again and this time it should
read 13V-14V. If it does read 13V-14V then it means that the alternator
is working. If it is below 12V, then it means your alternator is not
charging the battery properly. If it's above 14V, then it means your alternator
is overcharging and damaging the battery.
