3. I've also been loosing oil pressure, and burnin oil like no other. Its an 88 n/a with 169k miles.

4. Yesterday a knock started to happen. Every time i push the accelerater it does it when im driving. At a stop light when i start to go, the knock happens between 2500 rpms and 3000rpms and it does it throughout every gear.

5. i also have been putting in 87 octane? could that be the problem? the car also hasnt had a tune up in several years?

6. i need help soon, cause i really dont want to blow the engine if its serious.

1. Probably a brake light out.

2. Check your brake master cylinder for the fluid level. Might have a leak somewhere.

3. Whats your oil pressure at idle and while moving?

4. Switch to a heavier weight oil

5. 87 octane isnt a problem. You should get a tune up if you want the engine to last a little longer.

6. If it has a knock, it'll be done in the next 6 months anyway. So start savin money for a new engine.
