Yesterday I was driving normally about 30-35 mph & RPM's died then car rolled to a stop.Oil light came on but there's oil in the car.
Check engine light had been flashing for a while.Clutch was starting to go but I'm sure that's not it.
Engine cranks still

Not good. Gonna have to retrieve code, pay somebody to get code.
When was the last time you did an oil change and changed the filter----how many miles. Is oil level up or down?
Flashing cel code usually means a misfire. Misfire can lead to damaged catalytic, so putting this off is not a good thing. Not sure how if your catalytic converter can take this. A faulty converter can also send little bits back through the egr system, and back in to your engine, causing large damage, including oil pressure and compression loss.
