my 97 cavalier is making a loud ticking noise. Its worse when you first start the car, but it sounds bad all the time. It dosen't have good pick up either. The rpm are running rough. Help please. I was told maybe the timing chain?!?!

Haha hopefully you didnt run out of oil and pull a my99. Does it sound like this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uU2w89MFlKY
