Flywheels very seldom give a problem and have nothing to do with acceleration problems . If it was loose you would have massive vibrations and would know of a problem . If it is an automatic the so called flywheel ( flex plate) have a tendency to crack at the crank mounting bolts and the cracks radiate out to where the torque converter mounts on and then there will be no drive or start action as the ring gear just falls away from the starter. The noise may be from the plate starting to fail so remove the inspection cover and check the plate for cracks or rust streaks which are cracks that you will not see.

Noise from motor flywheel

This is possible with engine off through a round inspection hole on transmission bell housing you can see the flywheel with a flashlight . now have someone rotate the engine by hand as you watch the flywheel a slight back and forth on rotation of engine can produce the noise and seeing the flywheel lag in rotation can prove the failure.

even if you have all the teeth on your flywheel it may still be slightly warped. which is why you should replace the flywheel or have it checked when you replace the clutch. this could cause your issue by placing the teeth slightly too far away or too close to the starter gear.
