2005 ford explorer sport trac

The ole sport trac has made a ticking noise for
about a month now, well yesterday I was on the
expressway and it would jerk like hell back and
forth so I exited the highway before a cop seen me
and accused me of acting suspicious and shot me
so he could get his monthly quota and right when I
got off it just died. When I try to start it the lights,
radio, everything comes on except for the engine,
like you can hear it trying to turn over but it just
won't. If there is a car genius out there that can
help me I would pray to god every night that you
will win the lottery right after you married the
hottest chick in town.
