Description of the problem	Was driving on the highway and heard a rattling/clunking, my rpm's shot up and i couldn't accelerate past 60. The check engine light came on and then shut off briefly. Then all of the lights on my dashboard came on and i pulled over but had no power steering. Once i pulled over the car began to smoke so i turned it off. I then heard a loud pop and saw a thick black smoke coming from the hood and within 30 seconds the front of my car was in flames.
