Sorry you're having bad luck here. Video and post the engine sounds as it's occurring. How long did you run without oil you think?

do you have oil leaks?
I had valve cover and front crank seal leaks that cause it to run out of oil after 3k with no oil change.
I fixed oil leaks and change oil at 2k never go under full on the dip stick.

If car ran good after adding oil then runs real bad after a car wash check your DME compartment and see if you have a plugged drain and the DME got wet. This is only if the car ran good with no clicking noise after you refilled the oil. If it still makes noise after oil level is full then you most likely have a mechanical issue caused from running the motor without oil which is a problem that will not repair itself. Since you stated the car works fine at times then runs like crap it is most likely electrical since water is causing the issue. Could also be fuel related like a colgged fuel filter but I would start with electrical.

Is there a CEL and if there is what codes?
