When I start my car,it acts as if everything is normal,but then this loud,obnixous motorcycle or helicopter noise and the engine shakes. I tried to drive it to Auto Zone to check the engine but it dies. I dont believe its a battery issue because lights,phone charger and radio works..I have fluids(i know it needs more brake fluid but i dont think brake fluid would cause this issue)but I dont have a clue what it could be.
Try taking polybelt out sounds like something is worn or seized

For problem #1 the sable has a sensor inside the cylinder(called fluid level indicator) to activate the brake light when the fluid level is low. in the 96 Sable, mercury had a recall for these cars regarding the brake light not functioning right

This could be a fuel delivery problem, or it could be a sensor, or it could be a lack of compression.

I've always believed in the idea of investigating/eliminating the most common causes for things like this (fouled plugs, clogged injectors, bad fuel filter, failing fuel pump, etc.). The OBD scanner should at least point you in the right direction.
