Today while on the interstate, all of a sudden my car started making a boggy noise, and not soon after the check engine light came on(check engine light is flashing). I drove to a Autozone and the vehicle diagnostic revealed a engine misfire on cylinders 1, 3, and 4. I have been getting oil changes frequently(every 1800 miles or so) because the oil seems to be burning quickly. I saw some oil leaking from the block(I think i need a new head gasket), so I checked the oil level and there appeared to be oil, so I didnt think much of it. My car now stalls out if I'm not giving it gas and sounds horrible. What should I do, Whats the problem, and is it okay to drive the car on only one cylinder?(I have to get to work tomorrow)
 
I'm pretty sure your problem has nothing to do with oil(if it does you have serious leak issues).
It sounds like you are losing spark or your timing belt jumped time.
Either way I wouldn't chance it, because to fix it may cost $150.00, but to replace your engine or car would cost....
