My Honda Accord check engine & maint. required light came on. The manual said to make sure the gas cap was on good. It was. Auto Zone said it was the ERG or EGR valve and turned it off to see if it would stay off. It seemed to sound rough, but the light stayed off. Later it made a very loud noise like metal hitting the ground. The car died & the light came back on. When I put it in gear, it would not go. I gassed it harder and a lot of smoke came out the tailpipe. It was very hard to push and the only way we could push it was to start it and keep the clutch pushed in. Every few feet it made an awful metal sounding noise. Could it be the transmission or clutch. If so... why all the smoke?
